Then when you cross the road it will tell you exactly where to go to then? Both the direction and…

Are we told who to dislike?
I honestly think the media is designed to manipulate us, who to admire, who to detest, who to feel sorry for, who to emulate, you don't have to look very far to see even self image, self worth is spoon fed every day, can we escape it?

Do you feel like something is missing?
I can't help but think the reason I don't have a partner or children is somewhat to do with my medical condition Hydrocephalus. I know my personality traits like introversion and being a loner don't help, but I'm not sure how I can break out of this cycle. I find that I'm so much more talkative and expressive through my…

Why do you only get 1/4 off council tax if single?
The council tax is based on the property and two occupants living in it. So, if there is only one occupant, why are you not reduced by 50%. That is half of two people. They don't charge for extra occupants, so you could have a family of four living in a property and it's still based on the band and two adults.
