I have never seen one but I remain open minded and would love to hear of your experiences.

not seen one personally but I've been hearing a bit about the spirits at work, seen by various staff members, sometimes before they've heard the stories, books falling off shelves, when no-one is near, and not in a draft......
didn't think much of it until now, there has got to be something.

Do you think it has been taken the wrong way or do you consider it affensive?

i think whatever the royal family or anyone in the public eye says seems to be taken way out of proportion.. everyone is entitled to thier own opinions

I find I am drinking more hot drinks and wearing extra layers rather than turning the heating up.

I too seem to be drinking more hot drinks but i have turned the heating up a bit. My work takes me in and out of the house and other places so i do find it hard to get warm so ,once inside i do turn the heating up only because i have frozen up !

With all the children in care waiting for a good family to be part of, are the rules too harsh? Is a child better off in care than with an overweight, loving family?

I think this is actually a very difficult one to answer. I don't think you can really answer it unless you have more details but let's say that everything is fine with the family except for the fact that the person is obese. I would say that this would be a judgement call on the part of the social worker and that it could be justified either way. On the one hand surely it's better to have a loving home than be put in care but on the other if there's the chance the child will be able to be adopted by a healthy person who is fit and thin enough to be able to parent that child then maybe the obese person shouldn't get the child.
I'm not saying that fat people can't be good parents but as a parent you need to be able to be active with your child to give her/him the best childhood. I think there's also been so evidence that suggests that if you're obese there's a good chance of you having obese children.

I think it makes it too easy for people to get into trouble. It also makes it harder for those people that have gambling problems to sort themselves out. The rate of addiction must be on the increase.

Just an easier way to fleece those with an addiction and take advantage of those with gambling problems. I can't imagine any gambling site being beneficial for the user, only for the owners.

I think it would be an advantage for all. You could spend it on what you liked and it is safe and quick.

Yes then you could spend it as you want rather than waiting for vouchers from a limited number of places
