My bold. That's exactly what a caller to LBC Radio said this morning. She was sitting in a waiting area in a hospital and was wearing a Pro-Palestine wrist-band..the colours, and she noticed a nurse kept looking at her and at the wrist-band so she took it off and put it into her pocket because...

What about pro-Palestine badges/ brooch flags. From your previous posts it seems that it wouldn't matter. Well it would to most ,if not all Jewish patients...bar you,it seems. Patients are, generally, in some degree of stress and they don't want staff with political messages being...

Staff at Slimbridge WWT,Gloucestershire, were very concerned about chicks that launched themselves from their nests and immediately flew into the restaurant windows. They came up with a plan. Cover the windows with a very thin film that reflects ultra-violet light. It's invisible to the naked...

You're being too kind....I could think of a few far more appropriate descriptions. I'm surprised he even got a response.

Years ago my mother,who had impaired sight..macular disease, tripped over after walking into an A Board on a narrow footpath in the centre of Stroud ..six miles away from Gloucester and suffererd a nasty bruise. The shop owner was, at least, very concerned. Looking back on it we should have...

I think the 'good excuse' is to allow traffic to continue to move freely and reduce the risk of their vehicle being hit. If you think about it,it's less likely to be hit if parked on the road because traffic would have to wait for a clear run to pass. Park it half on the footpath,as many do...

Has anyone seem this film.'Legends' ? I rarely watch films but I saw a trailer for this a couple of days ago and it's fact-based. Uk's 'war on drugs' . I'd enjoy something like this. We have the Netflix app on our TV. https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/legends-trailer

People like myself, and those on here who have also voiced a fear of heights, really do miss a lot. Fantastic scenery. We'll have to do with videos like this..Even videos like this can 'send shivers..not down my spine"......lol.. but down my legs :)

A few points,Alan. Well..I'll respond to all your points because they are all valid and clearly resonate with you. They did make me smile, though. Re putting your trust in the pilots. Not just the pilots but the manufacturer, too. Boeing has been accused of cutting corners and of having a...

My bold: As you see in my post above ..it's no longer' hundreds' but tens of thousands.I also like a decent-sized room to sleep in not a smaillish cabin with a shower squeezed in and as for going on a cruise in any other cabin than one with a balcony...to get asway from it all..I woukdn't even...

It's not being anti-social atall. It's difficult to get away from people on a cruise ship especially those with 3000-4000 passengers. With many cruise ships you wouldn't even know you were on a ship. They are often described as floating cities. Royal Caribbean's 'Icon of the Seas' and 'Star of...

Agree with all that.Despite all the advice people still carry wallets and the like in their back pockets. We've also caught 'nasties' on flights. I have mentioned it on here before about a friend who became seriously ill with a respiratory infection caught on a US flight. It stopped him...

All a bit complicated for me,Hugh. Bottom line re this book was that there were several negative reviews, one by the Guardian and I didn't come across any positive ones. I appreciate there are some smart people out there who post convincing reviews but,as I mentioned to Marc, I do a lot of...

A friend of my wife is with her husband on a nineteen-day Mediterranean cruise and they were confined to their cabin for three days due to Norovirus on the ship. This norovirus is quite common which is another reason we don't go on cruises these days. When that isolation expired they went...

It's like Tripadvisor. As you say, subjective views and I read a lot of TA reviews before we book hotels. The reason I posted the Guardian reviews and the Reddit posts was they were all the same.Negative. If TA reviews on a hotel feature a fair few negative ones,especially highlighting the same...
