What People were saying on
"When you're in love you lose your reason. Marriages would work much better if you didn't love one another."
"Why not stop feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square & start feeding them in say the middle of Hyde Park? They wouldn't even have to fly there. Publicity-mad politicians could lead a procession of simpleton volunteers carrying the wretched creatures on their heads & shoulders."
