    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Not if you have a mixed DB and DC scheme, at least on the provider's valuations you can quite easily go over the current threshold. This is the sort of scheme that many of those people who have just been given very large pay rises have. I think it would have to be phased in, pension planning...

    [Technology] If you could afford it would your next car be an EV?

    Most EVs are to big, to expensive, overly complex and really ugly. I like the little Honda EV, but its range is too limited. I only buy Japanese cars nowadays so will have to wait for something from Mazda or Subaru and they've all bet on hybrid which seems the worst of all worlds. It's got to...

    My sister went to the Towers in Upper Beeding, she was quite a few years older than me and I think the nuns disturbed the young me. I've held a mild dislike of them ever since, even though some were very nice.

    Don't you think that this has potential to go all WFP. The cut off will be just as steep. Also, it seems wrong to determine the level of debt an 18 year old (adult) will have on the basis of their parent(s) income. There will still be the option for many who have divorced parents to "live" with...

    why do you think this is a "medical" decision? In what whay do you think theyy should be trained, by whom and to do what? It should be an individual's choice, not that of some medical professional.

    For some people it is the only thing they have any control over. I agree, it is a fundamental right and no one decision but their own.

    Used to see her in Waitrose quite often. She was also something to do with the New Park Cinema in Chichester. What a lovely lady.
