She was only 16 in Walkabout... just saying

Tbh, Kendal has always had its rougher side. I lived there briefly in the early 90s and most of the pubs were no go areas on a Friday or Saturday night (unless you enjoy being involved in a fight)... It's not "proper Lakes" and is certainly not the quaint Lake District town it's portrayed as. A...

Yes, I think so. Overall, a lot of Western European countries pay more towards their pensions and their healthcare etc via taxes than we do. The culture in the UK is "we want it now" which is why, for a variety of reasons, our healthcare, education system and pension arrangements are so...

Regarding the French, as I understand it, they pay a higher percentage in pension contributions towards their state pension than we do (plus more tax towards the health system etc - hence it's better)... therefore their country can afford for them to retire slightly earlier than us. We haven't...

Except what happens/might happen in the Middle East very much affects us... just like Ukraine, Afghanistan etc. I agree about "taking sides" though... there is both reason and blame on both 😢

Personally, I prefer the Cleveleys/Thornton end of town to South Shore (have lived there also)... but, as said above, all areas appeal to someone. For such a big move in your life, definitely worth a week or two's stay... trying out local pubs/eateries etc and visiting at different times of the...

Yes, I thought Jazz played very well, perhaps better than Harry towards the end. Mollie has cost him (and her) about 50k. She seemed a bit stupid throughout, but I couldn't understand why she thought Jazz might be a traitor when, if he was, he didn't need to vote for banishment again. If a...

Totally agree. I saw it at the Vue in Cleveleys last week. In some ways it appeared more "real" and moving than Schindlers List. Quite an experience.

I think George was very talented tbf - and wrote some great songs himself. Agree about Ringo. He will know it though.

Because? You make no sense 🤣

Exactly. You had an accident because of your own stupidity. So did I this year, as it happens (not on an ebike - I don't own one😁). What I can't understand is why you are so angry and unsympathetic towards a fellow human being who has also made a mistake - albeit a very stupid one. He doesn't...

How many? The average is "less than one a year" across England, I believe. Look, the guy might be a complete imbecile but... "no sympathy"... That sounds rather callous.

Well. not the outcome they got... "seriously injured". If they deliberately entered the motorway, then they were "stupid" ... but NO danger to others (only themselves) and it appears they paid the price for their stupidity.

In what way? Surely only his own.
