WHERE DO YOU GET HELP when a disabled relative comes to visit you? From personal experience it seems that there is no way you can get any help unless you pay for it.

I didn't realise that I would be unable to get any help although the disabled and frail visitor has help in her home situation.

It is also not much help to know that the only option open to me if she needs help is to dial 999 for an ambulance.

STRONG FEELINGS about packaging? I look at all the new government directives on waste strategy, recycling and reusing and I don't disagree with them.

But why is the responsibility always aimed at the end user? I feel there should be some pressure applied to companies to help meet these initiatives by reducing the packaging they use for their products.

They should also spend some of their profits on research into more recycling-friendly materials.

If you have views on this I would very much like to hear from you.

MOTORISTS along Bois Lane have not been transformed by my comments a few weeks ago. I often wonder if they are parents and how they would respond in similar circumstances.

Walking doesn't remove you from the language as some motorists make a point of winding down their window to make theirs.
