A real fundamental question. How do I bookmark? It was easy in the previous FR version. But, after the change my whole page of bookmarks was gone.

Don't keep pensioners alive indefinitely, says old people tsar Dame Joan Bakewell

The broadcaster, who has herself written a "living will" stating under what circumstances she would want her life support to be switched off, said dementia sufferers must be allowed to die once their identity has faded away.

She added that she supports renewed public debate over whether the terminally ill should be given help to end their lives.

The 75-year-old also told The Daily Telegraph that employers must make it easier for older people to stay in work beyond the normal retirement age, in order to relieve the pressure on pensions provision and public services that will be caused by Britain's ageing population.

There are now more pensioners than children in the country thanks to rising life expectancy linked to healthier lifestyles and better health care, and one in four adults will be retired within 20 years.

Hmmm...Nothing blinking..but I do see the bookmark in brackets. But, it isn’t on a regular post...at least not that I can see. I’ve seen the report abuse but not bookmark. What the heck am I missing?
