Scrapping winter fuel payment is wrong, but REAL SCANDAL is that UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MINIMUM wage is £22k but pension is ONLY HALF THAT at £11.5k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's vulnerable!

ALL Broadband companies will soon force you to watch ALL ads. They're phasing out recording boxes, forcing you onto streaming-only, ad-controlled systems. BECAUSE streaming is cheaper for THEM. @virginmedia already forces new customers onto streaming - watching ALL THE ADS.

This is absolutely one of the funniest shows ever..Steve Coogan created a monster with Alan but we're huge Partridge fans and this series is sheer brilliance, so clever But the comparison to RM is spot on.

Why do companies hide their tel numbers on their websites? Like @virginmedia! It's very hard to find your tel no!! If you click on "contact" you expect a tel no, not to be constantly rerouted to a bot Q&A page???
