I agree with Keef completely. Although he knows I do.


As an outsider who has nevertheless been close to and associated with poms all my life and lived here for nigh on a decade I can honestly say that your adherence to outdated and sometimes mean spirited ideas of class is something that lets you down as an otherwise pleasant enough nation. This goes for both sides of the spectrum.


I do have to caveat that though by saying that for the economically excluded, of which there is a significant population in Britain, the idea of belonging to a class is possibly all they have.


I couldn?t give a dam about Winterbottoms mind you.

You were having a go at Woof about his punctuation - specifically, you said he was using too many apostrophes. I believe you had actually counted them, and said there were nine.


Not sure why this was an issue for you, but I just wanted to point out, in an equally pedantic way, that an apostrophe is this: ' and I didn't see any of those in Woof's post.


However an ellipsis (which Woof was using perfectly correctly as far as I can see) is this: ...


Clearer?

    • I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is? 
    • We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
