Yes I agree we all do get chatting, and it can go off the subject, but then its the same on all threads on this forum, but not to patronise anyone, this is something that is not nice, I do not like talking down to anyone, and would not want to bring myself down that low.
Yes we are all entitled to our personal opinion, but some things are best left not said.
"Happy days".;)
However, you all bang on about how you are helping everyone, but the PPI thread is completely buried in a meaningless sludge of posts about complete & utter tosh. How anyone who is looking for useful help about reclaiming PPI can expect to wade through 500+ pages of people posting about what they had for dinner yesterday is beyond me. The PPI thread should be for useful stuff about PPI, not a replacement for MSN between a select few individuals whose presence appears to border on addiction.
When I posted my earlier comment about the PPI forum I had just popped over and read the following post.
"I have Sunday lunch to get on with as well, done the veg earlier, cooked the Chicken last night, its all wrapped up in foil.....:p .
My tummy is rumbling, I had some cereal bars for my brekkie this morning".
And you know what - that post was thanked twice as being useful. Is that the purpose of a PPI forum?
Now is it just me or what? I am not trying to create waves - I'm just saying it as I see it.
(postscript): Whilst typing the above is seems that the PPI forum has already taken a few steps to realise what I am trying to point out above. I have decided to post this anyway to add an 'outsiders' viewpoint.
Once again, I will reitarate that I wish to give good advice to people as anyone else, so please don't treat me as the 'enemy'.0 -
Di - no offence, but you really seem to miss the point of what I was saying. I am actually on your side and if you look at my past posts you will see that I try and give good advice wherever I can.

Just caught this one before going to bed.
Yes I see what your saying and not treating you or anyone as the enemy, I have not had a great day or evening myself today, so to be honest its best If I say nothing....it seems I am offending some people today with my words ....so its time for me to take a chill pill.....:D and from the site...I am only going to post where neccessary now.
Yet I received a lovely pm from someone who I do not know telling me "I'm never patronising and could do with more the same on the site" lol....:o
nice post though...... oh dear its Monday already....:o .
It will be far better to have a general chatter thread, I see where posts get lost......so with a bit of luck that will happen.;)The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

MSE has lots of forums for this type of thing. A little joke is appreciated but its the other posts that I was on about. (Guilty of myself too but like I say, can see the error of my ways!!). I am glad I am not alone then. Or maybe I am by the look of the thread:eek:
I wish I had never said anything...
Seems like I have got myself quite a few enemies for suggesting it. I could not understand what was so wrong in moving the chat to another thread... No-one was suggesting another site....just somewhere more suitable so that we might attract more help from "certain people (professional people) that have been on and shared with us in the past their tremendous knowledge". :eek: We need some more professional help and they only have little time to trawl through the posts and when there are 5 pages of utter nonsense then they would most probably run and help elsewhere...
Sorry for hijacking this thread CC to say this but some good can come of everything so they say.0 -

Want to chat about anything and everything? (normal site rules apply though). Here you go. The Moneysavers arms is an open forum for all discussions. Mine's a vodka and cranberry.
That is what it says on that thread. It was only a suggestion Di... sorry if I offended you...0 -
