Clive James was wonderful, a witty and erudite man. We need more like him.

You're the same height as me, Donna, and I have the same problem with trouser lengths. The 27" was a perfect fit, but now the so-called petite lengths would only fit if you were average height. Ludicrous.

I haven't used L'Occitane for years, and these days I would never pay premium prices for products with SLS and SLES, there are many fabulous products elsewhere which have better cleansing agents. However, even if I did like their stuff, I would not buy it now due to the selling in China and the...

If you see a dermatologist for advice about what you can effectively do to help with the kinds of changes in the skin from peri-menopause on, they will get you on some form of prescription-level bit A active, generally tretinoin. They will also tell you to ditch all the OTC stuff, whatever price...

I've got to say I think it's madness to spend vast amounts of money on skincare which, unless it's of the prescription variety, is officially classed as cosmetics. I use tretinoin nightly, followed by a basic moisturiser, then factor 50 sunscreen during the day. Minimal cost and visible results...

Q appear to be confused and/or delusional about their customers. Frankly, I don't watch or buy anymore. I had trouble with the 'old crowd' of presenters, finding most unwatchable, so what the Instagram-friendly newbies are like, I dread to think. Q's core audience is surely middle-aged and...

One of the problems is that so- called reality TV tends to focus on such issues, giving the impression that millions of people are"non-binary". This allows nonsense language, such as, 'X was assigned as male at birth'. No, X wasn't assigned as male, X was ****** born male, unless, as I've said...

As I said earlier, I really find all this very concerning, and I can't help but cynically feel that the knock-on effect on biological women is being exploited by men. Why is it always women's rights, thoughts and feelings that are recklessly abandoned in order to cater to a vocal minority? I'm...

It worries me that the rights of women, which have been hard fought for, seem to be pushed by the wayside in order that trans people move up the agenda of importance. The trans community, at least the militant voices given so much media space, seem able to destroy a person's community standing...

You're right, Donna, and Laura herself is used as a kind of figurehead for the business these days, appearing in promotions etc. Not sure how long that will be the case. We all know that once these companies change hands the quality tends to go down very quickly. I've never used Laura Geller, so...

Loathsome creature. Outsource your manufacturing, pay pennies to the workers whose labour keeps you in wealth, bang the drum for Brexit when you know the effects it will have on UK manufacturing and industry, as well as the own goal against your own country's economy, and then charge a fortune...

Thanks Cashers!

Thanks loveallthingsitalian.

Thanks, Bea Frugal.

Thank you, brissles!

I wonder how much the cutters, the women spending hour upon hour at the sewing machines etc., get paid for churning out this derivative rubbish. Pennies, no doubt, while RL, that well-known "designer" is raking it in. As said earlier by others, it's much easier to achieve fame or celebrity these...

Dear Michelle Mone, who managed to take in an extra billion or so from Boris's (and his incompetent joke of a cabinet's) cronyism to supply PPE to a desperate NHS. Strangely, there were issues. Who'd have thought it? Horrible woman, but no doubt she'll get away with it, along with the Police...

I'm involved in a scrap with Trustpilot on account of them removing my comment at the behest of L'Occitane. Trustpilot is definitely ruled and cowed by big companies, making a mockery of their so-called independence. I've never used L'Occitane, I don't use SLS or SLES, so overpriced products...

As a lifelong asthmatic I've never used loose powders, precisely because of the risk of affecting my lungs. Johnson &Johnson have quite a few class actions against them. As have makers of eyelash serums containing prostaglandins, which can cause serious complications.

I don't watch QVC these days. I think, like a lot of people, I originally tuned in when going through difficult times. For some reason I found it comforting at the time. Although frankly, I never could watch AY or Jill Franks, or Slow Reveal Charlie. AY's voice is like listening to something...
