STORY:

With the roadmap out of lockdown currently on track, what are you most looking forward to doing in the coming weeks and months?

Sarah JW: I'm looking forward to a day out with my children at the cinema, a tray of nachos with cheese dip and a tango ice blast, a tub of popcorn, I'll be freezing like I always used to be but I won't care cos I'll never take it for granted again! And going for some nice food after and giggling round the table after giving myself a bad tummy cos I shouldn't have had dessert but who cares absolutely can't wait for that day!

Paul Emerson: Being able to book a table at a pub, having an allocated time slot, an allocated table. Filling in my details on arrival, "here's your table", table service, wearing a mask to go to the toilet, being told to sit down if you stand up, no music, watching a footy game without the noise. Can't wait. Think I'll take a few cans down Burn Park and share them with the rats.

STORY:

"I’m angry at myself!” Grieving widow tricked out of £500,000 in two online scams.

Klaire Ferry: At first I thought how could you

be conned, but then I thought, had on, she was a vulnerable woman, grieving. For sure you could be conned.

Margo Lax: Poor woman .... she had just lost her husband. Wasn’t a dating site...but a hobby site for photograph­ers. It’s so sad.

Sarah Jane O'Neill: I realise they choose the most vulnerable people but she has to take some blame for what happened.

Joan Redford: Can't believe someone could be so stupid.

Klaire Ferry: Think you are looking for the word vulnerable.

Lynn Coyne: Sorry you were a victim of scammers but being a former police officer you should have known better.

John Gillon: Can’t believe how heartless some of these comments are. She was vulnerable and lonely. Enough to impair the judgement of anyone.

Margie Bell: Victim blaming again. She is already reproachin­g herself.
