I hope you're soon feeling a lot better

Can't beat the Leonard Cohen version - one of my favourites of his - Sincerely L Cohen!

Was the shoe shop called Mansfield?

Brew. You're obviously an educated and very articulate person. Move on from your narrow opinion of Little Richard with his mascara - so what? (and the tinned carrots and peas!)

I'm amazed they're still available. I had plenty of them as a child, but would never dream of eating them now, and anyway I only ever liked the pastry. The only preparation is removing the lid!

I found some of it interesting, as CT says. I was expecting the reaction from a lot of you, though!

I could read well too, before I went to Infant school. I've only got one book I had as a child now - a book of poems for children, and my Mum had helpfully written the date I was given it - Christmas 1964, so I'd only just turned 8. I loved Little Women, although not so keen on Heidi, but I was a big fan of Bunty and loved Enid Blyton

That's great to hear Ben

I'm a big fan of Gigli too, and also Jussi Bjorling

Don't be sorry Mary. You did what you thought was best

I think I'd have asked her what evidence she had or what she'd seen or anything her daughter had said or done or any physical signs and then told her to report it to the police. You were in a very difficult situation, Mary

Oh Mary, I'm sorry you had to go through that -it must have been really scary. He deserved that kick

SG. You're not paranoid. Your list was spot on, and, I think, a significant proportion of women have had to know those things from being a young teenager and it's just been accepted that women have to change their behaviour for their own safety. A curfew for all men would be ridiculous, but it's been going on for so long, something has to change

BK. I don't know why anyone would want to listen to any of his views

I'm even later, but Happy (belated) Birthday Margie
