Feeling guilty. As an 89 year old my generation knew the horrors of measles, polio, TB , etc We lived in dread. Saw school friends, crippled, loose lungs and often die Relieved when at last vaccines were available. Shouldn’t WE be shouting it out loud to protect today’s kids?

How do we get the British back to eating good offal dishes like our traditional steak and kidney? Are we using the best food for dog meat? Four butchers today had no kidneys! Don’t often see tongue or lamb/beef hearts either.

Your socialism is my being a good neighbor. Walz quote should be spread everywhere. Being democratic is good citizenship. Harris/Walz are the good normal people America is proud and wise to have as its leaders.

@runnermandoc Community rehab makes sense, but only with Physios and a rehab team!

⁊@thecsp⁩ Community rehab makes sense, but Where are the physios? Exclusive: 20,000 patients a year ‘warehoused’ in community beds after hospital discharge

South Lanarkshire's grounds team are visiting towns including Rutherglen, Blantyre and Lanark to clean up chewing gum. Source: STV News A huge Gum Tax would help the Government and all of us! Why not? So antisocial.

@MaggieMossop @bazhsw8183 Yes, i was one for the first kids from my mining village to go to the girls high school when the 11+ arrived. I didnt know what a university was or why I should be aiming for one. Or words like Algebra . Or any reason to learn Latin. But the school didnt realise those things.

Thanks for all the support. Not hearing yet that here are special hearing aids that allow me to hear Parkinson’s mumbles more clearly, They would need to emphasize /sharpen consonants which my husband can no longer do.

@BBC4 Why did female interviewer on tonight’s news say “ unfortunately ‘ we are all getting older. Pure ageism! Implies being old is not OK. Nothing unfortunate in staying alive and reaching old age. Should be welcomed as the special rich serene period of life it is.

BbC4 #Ageism! ON the news TONIGHT an interviewer talking about income in later years said “Unfortunately” we are all old getting older! What is unfortunate about staying alive? Was she implying that old age itself is an unfortunate state to be in. Not an acceptable viewpoint.

@stormrobinson What is wrong with American women who feel the need to be scared like that? Is the US really so bad? Or are they stupid ? In the UK I, and any other woman, would be so pleased to see a man arrive I can change a tyre in theory, but as someone comments I can’t get the nuts off

Your Gut Bacteria Could Save You From Serious Infections - I grew up in a very unhygienic home. One cloth used to wipe up everything and our faces. Never sterilised. At 88 I have never had a serious infection though travelled the world. Too clean today?
