60's and 70's style potatoes, meat and veg with traditional pudding, chips once a week, is needed. The fast food dirt that kids are fed in school, but more importantly, AT HOME, is what needs to change. It all starts at home. It is said it is cheaper to eat cheap crap. Wrong! Simple, economical cooking is what UK families need to get back to.

Years ago I used to see a programme at tea time called, I think, Animal Rescue. It showed stray cats and dogs flattened on roads etc. They were 'saved' by having legs amputated etc and MAJOR surgeries, in my opinion, not always in the best interest of the animals. Practical decisions need to be made. I remember thinking what is best for the animal? I have never insured any of my dogs.

We have to make it so accessible for capable locals. When I started in the NHS, almost 40 years ago, the suggestion of nurses with tattoos was outrageous, now it is commonplace, along with single parents etc. Local people should be enabled as far as possible, so that we don't have to depend on foreign labour.

Local people should be very, very actively encouraged to train to fill these healthcare roles. Plenty of them sitting on benefits, lots of them with life skills and capability to perfectly fulfill the role. Wasting away on benefits should not be an easy option.

I wish I was local.......

The sooner the people who live on the island of Ireland, north or south, acknowledge that the present threat to our way of life is much greater than the traditional 'them uns' 'yous ens' finger pointing the better. They need to open their eyes and really look at how the invasion is affecting the future of our nation, north or south.

He got 'a quare dig in the bake' as big Jim McDonald would say.......

I hate seeing people wearing football shirts unless they are actually playing football. It looks totally chavtastic.....especially on women.

I see in the news a few events held recently at the National Memorial Arbouretum in Staffordshire. Has anyone been?

Had a phone text this week asking me to contact them with details about the winter fuel allowance.......I'm way too young to qualify for that....lol.

Baseball caps are good to keep your glasses clear in the rain........lol!

Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner - hot or cold. I have this 3-4 times per week - any filling goes, my favourite is salmon, garden peas and red onion.

What were they selling lol?

Got off a flight from Belfast to Heathrow late (10.30pm) Christmas Eve about 25 years ago.......the airport police were visibly patrolling with machine guns.......they did have tinsel wrapped round the barrels.....in keeping with the season.......but still........

Never mind the 16/17 year olds who are likely to vote for Taylor Swift or Kanye West or whoever.......just cos........ Those who sit on their arse and don't go to vote have no cause to complain...get your suit on and stand for election. GET OFF YOUR HOLE AND GET TO THE POLL!
