  • I really like your programme Martin!

    I happened to have a couple of days off work, and was lucky enough to switch the TV on as your programme started.

    It's nice to know I've been doing all the right things and it's amazing to see so many people aren't ;-)

    Shame it's not on after 6pm though. Maybe next year, eh!

    Keep up the good work.

    We saw your programme today Martin, very good indeed, and its amazing how many of these young folk just don't work out their money like us old uns do, who have been brought up to cut ones coat accordingly, and come through a world war!! We just save cos we do not know any different, but our children have not had to do that. Even when we can afford more things these days, we still go very carefully, just a habit I suppose. We switch lights off without thinking as we go out of a room, we have just found out that Lidl baked beans are as nice as Heinz, even better and cost a fraction of the cost, as does their soup, we switch off all our stand bys on TV video etc, and turn our heating down, none of which our grown up children do!!

    Happy New Year to you all, oap

    Why do you need to turn down your heating and turn off lights when you could be on something like Stay Warm for the over 60s.

    See link below:
