What we pay to take our medicine
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. When Lord Byron first offered this advice he could not have imagined the scale and cost of medicines prescribed in England 200 years later (which are certainly no laughing matter). According to government figures, published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre there were just […]

Driving safely and legally at Christmas?
Careless driving puts innocent people’s lives at risk. In 2011 excess speed contributed to 213 deaths and using a mobile phone while driving contributed to 374 road casualties.

A Credit free Christmas for a Happy New Year
Bernard Manning claimed that the bigotry of which he was sometimes accused did not reflect his real character. Whatever the truth, there is no denying his wit.

The Joys of Volunteering
