Afternoon all . Just finished packing as we are also away next week. Only in our case we are away to Brixham . The last time we stayed there was the year before we were married, which is …… a long time ago 😂. We thought it was a bit of a dump back then ( it didn’t help it rained every day ) . But we stayed near Dartmouth a couple of years ago and had a few days out there and were very impressed how it had changed so when we saw a nice apartment at the right price, we decided to give it a go . 😀

Off shopping as soon as Mrs D arrives home.
Hope you enjoy it.
We honeymooned in Scarborough.....1968. We were impressed.
We went back for a short break approx 2000.....it was very depressing, so run down.

We visited Scarborough around 2012 and I understood what you mean but it still had a faded grandeur and some charm even on a bitterly cold day in November . 😀

You know you’re old, when you’re entering your date of birth with a smartphone
& to get to your birth year you have to spin that bitch like you’re on the Wheel of fortune

In this heat at my age, apart from getting to where I want to watch maybe 5-10km not a chance. I did 25km in France at the start of my trip in 40°C and it was not pleasant to say the least.

A shameful day in the Commons.
Will stop there before we get into NCAP debate.

Sorry, but I'm a Catholic
You are allowed to be free thinking as well.
As Spokey says, we have to tread carefully here. I respect yours and most other religious views. And if you and the decision makers do not wish to have it for themselves or thier family I respect that.
What i dont agree with is them deciding for me or my loved ones.

Am in two minds over this. I don’t have a problem with it ethically but I do have concerns about how it would be administered.
Also we live in a country were thousands of people in their last days die from the amount of pain killers needed to keep them pain free, so we already have a version of it already .
It’s a complicated situation and I yet to be convinced one way or the other.
