Right (German) BlueSky. You up for a quest. While at my dad's at Xmas, i found a picture and postcard from my godfather, who i have never met. He was a German student. Manfred Maywyrm (?) from Bad Homburg studying in the UK in 1980. Good friend to my parents. They lost touch. Help me find him?

A photo of a brown-haired German man, next to a postcard that reads:

"Dear Moira and Mick, after a long and boring journey i arrived quite well at home, although my parents were already there. Yesterday i slept the whole day long and today i had my first day at school. Dear Moira, i'm very sorry for i could not tell you good bye before i left, but i just did not think of it last night. Also i want to tell you again that the most beautiful day for me was when you asked me to be Gareth's Godfather. I'm looking forward to see you in August. Thank you for the presents and for the nice time we had together, the world's second best darts player and family.

When the pensioner hating Labour government got rid of the winter fuel benefit, they said don’t worry some people can get it via pension credit. Current backlog for pension credit, over 91,000. So eligible people won’t get it until the worst of winter is over. Another Labour shambles.

I think we should cancel the MP's ridiculous final salary Pensions, a ripoff that we can't afford. We will give them the pittance they put in back, and tell them just before we do it, so we told them in advance. Fine for the WASPI women, fine for them I say.
