    I now have a vision rog, that I would rather not have:eek:

    At least yours is just a 'vision', H - not a pretty one, I admit - but I had an actual 'experience' that I would rather not have had. :eek: :eek:

    To this day, I always pull the sheets back and inspect the bed when I have to stay in an hotel - whether it be a 'Pub B&B' in Yorkshire, or the Hilton Heliopolis in Cairo. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Morning Emily

    The thought of bed bugs makes me feel ill - I watched Verminators on Virgin 1 once and it was itch city here by the time it had finished:eek: Mind you I always check.

    There certainly isnt much to laugh about these days - it is all doom and gloom:rolleyes:

    Hello again,

    might crack of thunder here at 7.15,

    Just done a couple of hours at the allotment, trying to locate the strawberry plants under the weeds :rolleyes:

    Now that I have to start work, the sun comes out.

    Giant, enormous & decidedly dodgy :grouphug: to all those feeling despondent & glum .

    Cheer up my lovelies .. as long as we're still breathing there's hope :D

    *sprinkles happy dust about*

    You're right- I think things were easier then. Perkin Pootle and the girl one didn't have a lousy government or crazy egomaniac banking chiefs to screw up the economy for them. They were yorkshire folk the flumps - proper not materialistic, make do and mend types mind.

    I remember a notice in a pub that I used to stay at, near Haworth, which said:
    "Tha can allus tell Yorkshire folk - but tha can't tell em 'owt"

    I absolutely love Yorkshire - and its 'folk' - not to mention 'proper' fish and chips and decent beer. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P
