It’s a Bank Holiday Monday, so let TheJournal.ie distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel. You’re back to work tomorrow or – worse – you’re working today.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing questions.

This week: Great one from Deirdre Fox by email.
