Sadly so true, Bee

Posted on Thu, 14 Apr 2016

Interesting you describe the brutal techniques of the fifties and early sixties. I remember the disgusting post-war state crap and the garbage that was shovelled onto the plates that passed for school dinners. (I went home during primary school...

Perfect description of drifting off.

Posted on Sat, 05 Mar 2016

This what I aim for when I try to get to sleep. I think you paint a very relaxing image, I loved the clouds opening to let the sun through.

I've seen this myself, but in Mumbai rather than Dubai

Posted on Sat, 06 Feb 2016

Bangladeshies are treated badly and seriously ripped off in Mumbai, seem they are no better off in Dubai.

Poingent and well constructed...

Hi Deb

Posted on Mon, 07 Sep 2015

The more I hear about the NHS, the more I am convinced it needs to be broken up and the whole health system in the UK re-structured. Unfortunately I am also convinced whatever they did the UK government would find a way to **** it up.
