January 13, 2022January 7, 2022mirdietnet

It was the year, we said, when ‘the North/South divide became an abyss’ as junior health minister Edwina Currie badgered northerners about their drinking and smoking, saying they would die of ‘ignorance and chips’. The Jeffrey Archer book she’s brandishing on the cover, First Among Equals, was made into a TV series in 1986, and […]

So long festive period. We are now looking forward to, well, real life. So let’s think of things to lift our spirits. Things that make us look, feel and smell nice. Shallow yes, but a mood booster.

Sunday with Corrie’s Sally Lindsay: ‘Since getting a dog, I’m always out’

January 11, 2022January 7, 2022mirdietnet
