    IF you read Pink Princess's signature you will see that she ASKS that her grammar is corrected. She's trying to improve it.

    She has already thanked me for that post.

    I don't routinely 'pick' on other poster's mistakes or errors.

    I await your apology.

    I am very clean thank you. What's that go to do with anything? And you are missing the point [again].

    I've never met a delightful smelling hippy in all my life.

    They're greasy as fook.

    Some people are crying out for a slap, doesn't mean I go around doing it!

    Yeah but you aren't allowed out unsupervised so that's no surprise.

    Don't you think your personal misunderstandings are getting a little personal and in the way of an objective viewpoint on the matter?
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    Hardly the same thing, though, is it?

    The real reason you don't go round slapping people who, in your opinion, deserve it is because you would probably end up being charged with assault.

    No apology. Why am I not surprised?

    I get the sentiment but the regulars on MSE know that I was recently promoted probably above my means where I need to email alot every day & I am conscious that my English skills are far from the best. :o

    I don't have any faith, but I am still aware of many religious festivals.

    However I AM a lentil eating [I assume you meant lentils, rather than 'letils' of which I have no knowledge at all], sandal wearing [although at the moment, it's a little chilly round here for sandals] hippy. So does that mean that only hippies are allowed to know about faiths they do not believe in - as I have heard about this Christmas thingy and believe the whole bloomin country closes down for this ridiculous festival.

    I don't know why you need to be rude about a Christian festival. The whole country doesn't close for Christmas, I worked Christmas Day last year and the year before, I go to Midnight Mass so I can go in and enjoy Christmas with colleagues who have to be in work.. I have as many of my staff working as on any other day of the year.

    I do everything I can to give staff the day off if they request it, I also do the same for other religious festivals but if I can't I can't and staff respect that. I would be unhappy if someone told me they were going to take it off anyway.
