Drove half a mile down the road to get the shopping for the first time in a fortnight. Loaded food. Car wouldn't start. Stuck in car park. At least it was cold enough to keep the food fresh😕 Sold an overpriced battery but at least the fridge is full. I must be getting old. The repair chap looked awful young😐
I am 68 years old, and have always been in very good health. I haven't taken it for granted; I have always tried to follow a healthy lifestyle. I weigh 8 stone, and have never weighed more. I don't smoke or drink, and I use very little salt in cooking or at the table. I've never had oedema or high blood pressure. Can anyone tell me why I've just been diagnosed with heart failure?
My father was 6' 2", weighed just under 10 stone, played cricket and hockey for the RAF and had his first heart attack aged 34! Healthy lifestyle doesn't guarantee you won't have problems, just reduces the risk.
I think they need shaming, @pansyface. Do you use Twitter? I don't, but I believe companies hate criticism on social media...
@josusa47 - that's a bummer. Facing one's lack of immortality is a bit of a shock whenever it comes, especially if you feel you've been short changed... @Obelixx has the right idea, I feel. Hugs.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
@pansyface . They do this if you have not used it. Virgin did it to us some years ago. Other half got a new phone and gave me the old one for use, which I only used if I needed to phone home or emergency while out. It had a similar amount on it and I rarely needed to use it, and while out one day needing to phone home it did not work. Did you lose your phone number too?
No Virgin product has darkened our door since.
@Lizzie27 Very sorry to hear about the recreational space you lost. Doom and gloom senario is that the "developer" has probably already got some kind of planning or something in principle, or why would they buy it? Sorry to say and hope I am wrong. But they do not generally buy up land like this unless it benefits them. Sometimes to offset some other local unwanted development they put something back into the community. That would be nice, but do not hold breath if they are merrily destroying habitat already.
Do not use Twitter, move to Signal or Telegram. Sorry to @Liriodendron it is not a disagreement or dig at you personally, you may not know what has been going on.
Time limit on pay as you go is a real con. I know of people who have purchased PAYG phones for elderly relatives to use in an emergency. They don't have an emergency within 6 months so the phone provider simply takes their money and leaves that individual without their potential lifeline.

I've just checked back through the Daily Mail database and here's some possible causes:
Eating too much red meat.
Stress.
Not eating enough red meat.
Immigrants.
Climate change (although it doesn't exist so it can't be that).
Eating fruit.
Crayons (this is why their journalists have had theirs taken away apparently).
Not eating enough fruit.
Being left handed.
Eating a healthy amount of red meat.
Being poor.
Not allowing cookies on the Daily Mail website.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
