some people simply are more sensitive to insult than others, and there's no reason why their feelings should be less important than yours.


This is the big problem, of course these people's feelings are just as important as everyone else's, but at the same time, it saddens me that people have to feel censored.


I think BBW has been a bit out of line once or twice, but I just get so scared of living in a world where people can't speak freely for fear of offending. A bit extreme perhaps, but it's not a huge leap from one to the other.


What is the old saying, something like "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it". (sure that's badly quoted), such an important thing!

Censorship / freedom of speech have always been political hot potatoes - it's not a road I want to see the forum going down.


A lot of it is common sense though isn't it (otherwise known as self-censorship)? One golden rule for me is to not hide behind the anonyminity of the keyboard i.e. don?t post something that I wouldn?t be prepared to say to someone?s face.


Some of the things I?ve seen here on recent weeks (albeit the last few weeks have been mad) have just been rude. They don?t need censoring ? just some basic good manners.

Yes GG but you are dealing with builders and other such individuals, If you ever had the misfortune to sit in a site hut at tea break you would know where I am coming from. My father was a site agent for 20 years and I used to work with him during the school holidays. The conclusion that I made from that experience was ****AVOID**** that vocation like the plague.

What giggirl said.


And....I was very irritated by some of your posts BBW because you were clearly having go and being rude and obnoxious on a personal level and you wouldn't have dreamed of speaking to someone like that face to face and it really annoyed me. As for your craving for attention I find it very sad.

I'm all for a bit of banter and a sense of humour but what you might find funny other people clearly dont. Behave, be nice and we can all get along.


Big Bad Wolf? I don't think so. More like the The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Don't worry Giggirl. I'm getting back in my box now and Jah is going to nail it shut.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
