‘Bed sharing with children. I was one of these perfect parents before I had kids myself and then we invested in a super king size bed and everyone was welcome to survive the first few years.
‘Now they’re older and happily sleep all night in their own beds but those first 2-3 years I don’t know how I would have survived all the night waking without bed sharing.’

‘Serious one. Assisted dying. I used to be 100% pro, make it easy, everyone deserves that choice, make it as accessible as possible.
‘Until I watched a documentary by the amazing Liz Carr who put the argument forward from her point of view as a disabled woman. I have a daughter with learning disabilities and it really made me think. I’m still pro, but I want to know there are strict safeguards in place, and that those safeguards will be protected.’

‘I used to be very… ‘it is the corporations that need to change. Not us.’ Now, I just feel this is a massive cop out. Of course corporations have huge impacts, but we as individuals all have am impact too.’

‘Speeding. Limits were ignored, I drove at the speed I wanted to with minimal consequence other than the odd three points. I firmly believed the limits were archaic and an inconvenience. Then I moved to a small village with a 20 limit. After six months of living here I witnessed the aftermath of a young mum and her daughter getting knocked down.
‘The driver sobbing and repeatedly apologising to the unconscious woman and the police made me re-think everything. Looks like he’s getting away with a ban and has dodged a custodial but he’ll live with what he’s done for his whole life.
‘I now drive at the limit, people gesture and beep at me, overtake me and generally get enraged that I drive at the legal limit but it’s honestly made no difference to how long it takes me to get anywhere, I’ve also got a clean license and most importantly know I’ll be able to stop in time should someone step out.’

”Why would i buy this super expensive product when i can get it from Tesco for 90% of the price?’ Doesn’t go for all products but things like food and body care products have a stark difference between the £1 bottle from Tesco and £10 tiny bottle of shampoo from Lush.’

‘That phrase about people dying on hills seems to be very popular now. I initially thought this was a thread about climbing.’

‘Just about all of them. After the age of 35 (I’m 36 so this is fairly recent), I just about shed all things that used to irk and get my blood pressure elevated. I live life how I want, to the best of my abilities and can’t be bothered to really care about arguing my point with anything really.’
