Dear Bel, I'm a truck driver who works a 15-hour day at 73. I married a posh girl I adored in my twenties because she was skinny. (I hate myself for this), but if a woman put on weight I'd engineer a split.) We had two children that I loved, but she had an affair.

HMV is back, just a decade after defunct as young music enthusiasts abandon streaming in favour of vinyl and physical media, according to one of its bosses.

Vinyl has seen a revival in popularity, with record sales in the 21st century hitting new heights last year - although many people are still suffering from'streaming exhaustion.' This, as well as a dramatic rise in cassette sales, that Mr Halliday says has left HMV'very optimistic' about the future, it's this.
