Merry Christmas.

Its been a bit of a tempestuous year for us all, but in the true spirit of the season I wish you all well.

The Pound

Ok Uncle 'Gord' has reduced the pound to a Euro. Should we join it or try to keep our own currency? In the past I have said I don't have strong feelings about this question, but now, having been forced into a corner, lets save the pound!!

Shannon Matthews

So the poor child had a 'Bad' Mother.
Is it right that we should be raking over this sorry case, looking for someone to 'Blame'? or should we be working to find a wider solution to poverty and inadequate parenting?
I have even heard some folk shouting about the morals of the Matthews family for having 7 children with 5 fathers. Is anyone qualified to tell another who they choose to father their children?

Weather

Is it good to have a hard winter, or should we look forward to a mild one,???
