No mewbie, she was an old lady who was robbed in her own home who is now scared for life from her nose and down her chin. You can watch it on iplayer and see if you still think it is worth making a cheap remark over.

I have now reflected. I won't delete or edit my posts because the first one was made in innocence of the reality of Crimewatch or whatever the program was, therefore I did not know what had happened to an old lady. Of course this is terrible. Would it be more terrible if it were British perpetrators? Or less terrible? Therefore the nationality of the criminals has nothing to do with the story.

And the story itself has nothing to do with this thread.

So my cheap remark was in connection with the endless arguably racist crap that is being spouted on this thread. And my 'innocent' attempt to deflect it, or undermine it.

So to sum up. I am sorry about the old lady. But this is a thread about foreign or striking workers, or unions, or Goverment legislation - I think.

You won't be able to delete your cheap remark about the old lady who was scared for life, because I quoted it.

I quoted in my post why I put about that programme being on tv if you look back and check. Any said she didn't know of any stabbings.

Whatever. Did you actually have a point to make?

I accept it. And am suitably abashed.

Your forward planning was to wait until this morning and then see if the railway line was still working?:rolleyes:

I got on the train, got 2 stops up the line to be told the train was turning back.
And the entire line was immediately suspended after that.

Had a lovely relaxing day at home, thanks
