We had a Charleston from new and it was our wedding car. I had a love/hate relationship with that car. Would I have one again? Yes, but not as our main car and also yes now that it could be kept in our garage. The pre-lauch pictures looked like a fiat 500 with pop up lights!

I had assumed that's what he meant, but it's obviously not what he said. The press should not be condemned for reporting what he said; and no one with this much difficulty expressing his thoughts is fit to be president.

Pensioners are a special case. For the most part their income cannot come from work. And NI doesn't apply so there are less levers to pull.

My take on this is that those drawing a state pension should have a higher personal allowance and a lower higher band.

With the competing AIs are we at the VHS Vs Beta max stage but with more players? Will there inevitably be a dominant player and how will that happen?

For those receiving the state pension, raise the lower threshold and lower the upper one.

Also see the Industrial revolution, the computer revolution. Yes of course we will all have so much leisure time or at least we would if all the wealth wasn't going to be concentrated in the hands of a few.

So every time there is a shout are they going to have to contact Farage to see if he deems it OK to go?

Farage should attend a park run, a game of football, a Primary School in Clacton, a Prom concert before he goes all "Broken Britain" The country is NOT broken. It's millions of people, born without Farage's privilege, trying cheerfully trying their best for their families and communities.

I gave up on Reacher 3 as soon as it said "three days ago....". FFS tell it in the order it happened. Series 4 is in a straight line, but it does seem the script writers hit a brick wall a couple of episodes in - so went down the (even more) complete bollocks route.
