Here's the question. With coronavirus raising its ugly head in this green and pleasant land, and with a pressing desire not to catch the horrible bug or pass it on to nearest and dearest - not to mention vulnerable strangers - at which point do we pitch in and speak out?

MAYBE it's because on my BBC Radio London Breakfast Show we currently talk of almost nothing else from 7-10am every day - we do try to slot in other subjects but no one calls about them - that by the time I emerge from the studio I'm so acutely aware of steadily encroaching coronavirus that I jump three feet in the air if somebody so much as sneezes.

REMEMBER the phrase: "He had a good war"? When we heard it at school it seemed an oxymoron. I recall our history teacher, sensing our confusion, elaborating thus: "For some war was deadly. The bereaved and the disabled never recovered. For some it was a hiatus, a long and frightening test of endurance. Yet some excelled.

LABELS, who needs them? Do you really want to be branded a lockdown "accepter", "sufferer" or "resister"? What is the point of shoving us into personality pigeonholes as if we are predestined to capitulate, throw in the towel, or give up?

YOU might say the odds have always been stacked against age-gap relationships. The tut-tutters predict doom the moment they so much as sniff a union between May and December. "What does that old fool possibly think that beautiful damsel sees in him?" they ask. "How could that ancient crone believe that hunky young buck finds her attractive?"

Premier League quiz questions are a great way of testing your top-flight knowledge with friends and family.
