Clint Eastwood is still alive at 93,how do some live a long life and others so short a life.I have had five very short lives in my family, including my lovely mum. I wonder if money has something to do with this… I.E better treatment to what the plebs like me are used to.

I would bet you are right. MRI, CT scans on tap, probably has frequent blood transfusions, access to treatments NHS patients would dream about. Saying that what a great idea the NHS was on when it materialised, staff working for the common good access to proper medical care, without having to borrow money for treatment. Sadly Ithink it is now suffering from to many people using its services that haven't contributed financially to keep it bouyant. |

There used to be a Cornwell shop in the high road near the town hall.I always wondered if it was his family that owned it.
What a move for him to Newcastle,and in their team too.
