I was being sarcastic based on a few of your past posts that I obviously haven't forgotten.

So what do you think animals think AM?

And if nobody really knows, there's a good chance that they think exactly the same as the human in the video.

It is important to point out that comparing animals to humans is floored and has it own dangers. For example, should animals who attack other animals be punished in the same way humans are punished for attacking other humans? Also should humans be treated as some animals are: for example should elderly and frail humans be executed by lethal injection as some animals are or should feral children be neutered as cats and dogs are?

Robert Poste's Child, I am shocked by the aggression and contempt on this forum by yourself and other users. What is it I said?



Would you like to make a one way bet with me if I prove I am who I say I am? Bet me ?100?



I will disclose my details to the forum moderator who can then confirm that I am a current university lecturer at the university of London, but my condition is the moderator does not make my details known.


Do you accept Robert Poste's Child?

Well, you dirty my name and claim I am a troll but when challenged you say you are not interested.


I repeat: would you bet ?100 I am not a university lecturer?


Anyone can make claims and slander but are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? Or is this a case of throw mud and run?

Even I'm a little suspicous now Davis, and I have lost my temper at people accusing new posters of being fake. But no way would it bother me so much that I would feel the need to absolutely prove those people wrong. It's just a forum. Who cares what anyone thinks about who is who? And if some people choose to be rude to, or suspicious of new posters, then that's their problem. It's not worth wasting any time bothering with it.

Davis, that's not very logical - no one can 'dirty' your name as you are posting anonymously.


You claimed to be a University of London lecturer but for a relative newcomer your posts quickly became provocative, which gave me the impression you're looking to stir things up rather than have a genuine discussion.


Otta, fair point re picking up on use of language, but I think it's appropriate here as university lecturers not only have higher degrees but are expected to publish regularly on their subject. The OP's use of language and some of the comments seem to be at odds with this. (Note that I have heroically not commented on use of slander vs libel...)


I could be wrong, though.

Blah Blah, you have a point.


I just take offence to slander against me or others. I do not post much on forums and to be honest EDF is the first forum I have posted on for a few years and I forgot about some of the ignorant behaviour which occurs on forums. But as you said it is a just an internet forum... Never mind.

Crikey. You've mellowed since your earlier posts on this thread.

Please Davis & Robert Poste's Child..


This Thread is about Fox Hunting..


There is a Thread about Academics. (Davis)


If you both wish to continue your constant Bickering may I suggest you either

continue it there or find a School Playground where you can both scratch each others eyes out.

How would I know what they think am? I would say there is no chance that they think the same as the human in the video. This man must have assumed the 'animal' he killed was like a human, with very bad results:

I will never agree with hunting animals for sport....


However I'd happily shoot grey squirrels and some of the neighbours' cats with an air pistol (too many of both). Well in my dreams anyway. And what ever it is does the runny shits in our front garden.....


We got a squirrel caught in a squirrel proof bird feeder last year. The thing was apoplectic. As they are pests you are supposed to dispose of them. This poor townie after trying to give it a heart attack with a cat scarer ended up prising open the feeder to let it free (and managing to avoid getting my fingers bitten off). I am such a light weight.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
