Sad to hear Bill Oddie has died. He was many things: comedian, presenter, ornithologist. I loved him in 'The Goodies' on BBC TV in the 1970s. Also watched him on ITV’s Saturday Banana. As a musical tribute I play The Goodies theme tune, which Bill Oddie co-wrote.

@EHensby @DrNighatArif @DrHilaryJones Dr Hilary is not accepting responses to this on his profile. I questioned his 4 week recovery. I had the op last year and could not operate safely without at least one crutch at 4 weeks! I was told my op was prioritised because I was early 50s. Older people are not.

@ITV’s @loosewomen doctors programme was great. Apart from @DrHilaryJones’ hip replacement. At 72 he said he was there with no crutches 4 weeks after surgery. Great for him! Many patients take a lot longer to recover. For many reasons. Should have been said. Not an easy op.

@DrNighatArif @DrHilaryJones @Doctoramirkhan @DrZoeWilliams @loosewomen Sorry to post a negative first, but your work for women’s health is hugely appreciated. Dr Hilary doesn’t accept comments on his profile.

@DrNighatArif @DrHilaryJones @Doctoramirkhan @DrZoeWilliams @loosewomen When you have had the op everyone knows someone who was back “back on the tennis court” a few weeks later. But for most people it’s not a reality. This really played into that.

If you are not across the WASPI story and the arguments on both sides - do listen back to @NickyAACampbell’s phone in on @bbc5live on @BBCSounds. A great range of opinions and views. Should women be compensated for not knowing that the state pension age moved in the 90s?

@PeterBleksley I work in central London 3 or 4 days a week. I keep my phone hidden and my bag zipped and close to my body. No drama. Just common sense. I behave the same in Watford.

@LouiseLearJones @RevRichardColes 😂😂I thought exactly the same. People were always going to focus on the “one”, and it takes away a bit of the overall joy

@Matt_Pinner @realfritzhaas My kids could do it to an extent in recent years. It depends where you live. They grew up in a small village in SW Hertfordshire. Everyone knew everyone. It was quite rural - they could walk or bike around. There were woods for them to play in.
