Over the past few days I have several articles in the newspapers that have made me wonder if the world has given up on taking personal responsibility for anything and if everyone thinks playing the victim is a lifestyle choice. |

At the moment all those people who have travelled and then found they have to quarantine in a hotel or rush back to avoid it annoy me. |

Seems we are living in a 'Compensation Culture' , or that is what my son has told me. |

The people caught out going on holiday and then complaining annoys me too. There was also an article regarding a Russian woman who is suing McDonalds. The woman in question saw an advert for a McDonalds cheeseburger I think and decided she had to have one. In so doing she broke her vow for lent which was to give up animal products. |

A girl aged 6 was staying overnight at granny’s house. Whilst there granny let the child play a game called Roblox on her android phone and the child managed to spend £200 buying things in the game. |

There was a woman recently who was complaining the bank wasn’t refunding the money she was scammed out of. This money wasn’t from her accounts - she borrowed it and can’t pay it back. |

I don’t think the Russian woman was ignorant of what cheese or a burger are made from. I think it was more a case of she was craving what she’d given up and is now looking for someone to blame for her weak will power. |

A bit harsh Tawny. I have to admit to wondering if cheeseburgers were meat (flesh) free when they first came on the menu all those years ago. Perhaps she was starving and thought it was just cheese? |

I think the woman who nameless one was talking about, was actually warned by banks etc she was borrowing from, that she might be being scammed. |

Harsh maybe but she gave up animal products and cannot have been totally ignorant of the fact that cheese is also an animal product. |

I don’t need a picture of a chocolate bar to know I really want one. |

scooters are so dangerous not only to able bodied people but probably more so to those who have hearing problems or who are visually impaired or even elderly and slow at reacting. We first came across them in Lanzarote where they were all over the place horrid things. |

You are more likely to see the e scooter coming than the COVID infection. |

Good grief, not an iota of concern for anyone else, just more, 'listen to me, I'm RTR, here are my opinions masquerading as fact', followed by yet more bullsh*t. |
