    Forgive me if im wrong...However you are the one on here telling us how sick you are of seeing them.

    You made a rather large genralisation that they probably crawled out of there council estate,and the maybe had stolen the scrap from an old woman who was watching tv.

    You are a bookmaker...? i will give you 100 to 1 that you do not approach these people and make the comments that you have made on here.

    i do forgive you. yes i am the one telling you that i'm sick of seeing them, you've chosen to read my comments and taken the time to respond to them. that appears be be the way this section of the board operates.

    not quite sure what your point is here, presumably it is that i should not comment on this activity as i don't throw myself in front of scrap wagons, force them to stop and berate them with my opinions.

    by your logic people who complain about crowds of football hooligans attacking people should keep their views to themselves unless they too are willing to confront a fifty-strong mob of thugs by themselves.

    yours is a silly argument. as a bookmaker i'd say that's a dead cert.

    what im trying to say to you is that these people are out there doing a job,they do a very good job aswell.Just because you dont like the look of them chugging up and down your street...so what.as long as there vehicle is legal then they are allowed to go up and down any street they like,at any time,and as many times as they like as long as it is permitted by the law,and not by the residents.

    Football holligans.....thats a completely different argument is it not,they are as you describe hooligans and yes most people do not like hooligans.

    Surely that is like you going to your local gamblers anon: and complaining about them not attending your shop and betting.

    you are the one that called them idiots,and thieves not me,if you were to stop and chat to these people you may find them to be hardworking honest people,who are doing nothing wrong apart from making a living.

    look i have no desire to get into an argument with you, clearly you feel a certain way and i feel a certain way.

    i also have no idea why you constantly keep making reference to me being a bookmaker as if my occupation is somehow relevant to what is being discussed here.

    the football hooligan analogy was accurate. your comment implied that i should keep quiet since i don't confront these people personally, and i have quite rightly pointed out that by that logic anyone complaining about mob violence, rapists, murderers should also keep quiet because they are also unwilling to confront such a person one-to-one.

    as i've said i have no great wish to antagonise you.

    .

    This section as with most sections of this website operates by what people put onto it,if you do not like some of the replies then that is entirely up to you.

    Not everybody has to agree with you,as with me.

    again where did i say that everybody has to agree with me?

    i've made a comment. you've made an another. i've defended mine and so on.

    nowhere have i said i don't like views that are different to my own, i'm not sure why you've started down this track now.
