Lonely? Not me - I have a lovely wife many years my junior, who loves me, as the saying goes, ‘to the moon and back’, a son and his partner and my grandson, my lovely dog, a wide circle of friends of both sexes from my schooldays, my sea-going days, my working days, my sporting activities, and my musical activities. I don’t have time to be lonely.

Bitter? Not me - I’m having too much fun to be bitter.
