The reason that she was shot was for standing up for the rights of girls to be educated in her country.

I'm sure that she would rather stay in her country and fight her cause. Unfortunately she...

My thoughts are with her. Hope they find her little girl soon.

We have underpasses and redways, for walkers and cyclists, to stop people crossing the grid roads where the speed limit can be up to 70mph. Unfortunately many, to their cost, have preferred to risk...

The only high rise flats are near me and can be seen for miles around.

My parents moved from Woburn into a new council house in Bletchley in 1950.

As you said, the grid system works really well and keeps the traffic moving with very few hold ups.

Some of the first...

Miilton Keynes was originally a small village, blink and you missed it!

The town of Milton Keynes was was originally built around the towns of Bletchley, Wolverton and Stony Stratford but has now...

Thank you.

I agree in part but my mum and I could not live together and my brother couldn't care less! That doesn't mean that I do not care for her. I have been a widow for 15 years and have to work which would...

Religion has nothing to do with it! I look after my mother and my children look out for me and the grandchildren respect all their family. At this time they are grieving the loss of their great...

I took on a rescued cat from the RSPCA 10 years ago. Part persian she was beautiful, or not! Obviously badly treated before by a woman she would scratch or bite me if I so much as looked at her. I...

Why did it take so long for her relatives to realise something was wrong? I understand that she led an independent life as do many in there 80's but surely it shouldn't have been over a month before...

Exactly! My son was creating computer programmes for younger pupils when he was around the same age. He is now 41 so this is not new news!

What on earth has this to do with the thread?

Time keeping was ok. After an accident when a plane crashed onto overhead wires my train home was deleted but I was able to board an earlier train to be diverted via Birmingham New Street. When we...

I have used Virgin trains for many years. Under 2 hours to visit my family in Manchester when things go right. If there are problems don't expect great customer service!

Agree absolutely! Let's hope that Tony's death will bring about what he wanted. The right to die with dignity!

Thank you Richard!

Maybe I shouldn't have started this thread but it is close to my heart. To watch somebody close to you suffering in this way and not being able to do anything to help them is...

He was in the position that he was able to voice his views. All he wanted was to choose the time and place with his family around him. He didn't want to starve himself causing more grief to his...

If he had then somebody would have had to take him there and could have been prosecuted for it. That is what this about.

I understand your views on assisted suicide but when you have a relative who cannot do anything for themself and all dignity has gone then they should have the choice. My father was not able to voice...

I know how difficult it must have been for his family during the last few days when he refused food but they respected his wishes.

My own father who had Parkinsons disease and dementia chose the...

R I P Tony Nicklinson who passed away this morning. My heart goes out to his family.

Such a brave and inspiring man.

Do you drive? How many times have children ridden straight out in front of me? Allowing them to ride on the pavement causes problems for pedestrians! Unless you are prepared to teach them to ride...

I don't want to ban them but why cycle on fast roads when there are safer routes that would probably get them there quicker?

Keep your child safe but teach them how to cycle safely! Nobody wants...

That depends on how much you care about your child! The roads were quieter and safer when my children were that age.

Ok so children shouldn't have to pay road tax but maybe they should be included...
