I hope @bbcthehour returns for another series. @CatrinNye & @SteffanPowell have done a brilliant job highlighting some of the issues we hear about in everyday life - getting us talking and gauging the opinions of us all. 🙌

I like many others have paid national ins contributions for many years.Unlike the many alcoholics and drug addicts who pay nothing.Those who pay nothing are costing the #NHS millions.Watching #bbcthehour. Start making them pay they are a drain on our #NHS funding and resources.
