    Climate Change, where are you on this scale?

    Probably C, but hedging my bets, I have a bought a share in a boat that I can live on. I dont think the worst will happen in my lifetime, but I worry for the kids.

    Early Retirement.

    In case it helps anyone who may be in a similar situation to me. I am single, with grown up children who are not financially dependent on me. I had moved jobs every few years, but had two final salary pension schemes with a few recent personal plans. I was surprised to learn in the event of my...

    Early Retirement.

    I retired at 55 in the middle of the pandemic. Had to access my pension to support myself and then my business went bust. Moved back to be closer to family and live on my own.

    Who is 100% English?

    I used Ancestry as I am also building my family tree. Lots of relatives moved to the USA/Canada in the 1800's. So it is useful to try to link trees using DNA data. Not sure about other companies.

    Who is 100% English?

    Had mine done recently 6% Irish 11% Scandinavian 83% Yorkshire. So proud of my viking routes, looking for a winged helmet and a long boat. I am planning taking up plundering and pillaging but defintaely not r**e. It helps explain my passion for Ikea meatballs and chips, if they only sold it...

    Random question - did your dad wear Jeans?

    Dad was born in 1930, never wore jeans but would wear shorts on holiday. Always wore a shirt. I am just imagining him wearing jean shorts. He would have looked strange in a pair of Daisy Dukes :)

    Proposal for over 65's to retake driving tests

    I would love to know the stats for people who have to take multiple tests before passing. I would imagine that they are a higher risk than an older driver. If they are, there should either be a cap placed on the number of tests, or a higher standard that needs to be evidenced before being...
