Excuse me for being a poorly educated English person but with my limited intelligence I am struggling to see where it says the posts are exclusively yours, I believe this would be discriminatory, as it would be to exclude you and your opinions from ours.

I know you are poorly educated so stick to posting on
the english scottish wales forum

Unfortunately quite often, an outsider will comment with their knowledge of a certain situation not understanding that we're a bit backwards over here and do things differently. Nothing here is simple hence we ask the yokels for their opinion and not the general population :beer:

It is the mainland which is backward, we are progressive.

Don't worry, the English are only more poorly educated, on average... Speaking as an Englishman with a school age child, I found it shocking how much better the schools are over here, than in Hertfordfordshire...

The point of the OPs lament was more to do with posting cluelessly, than anything else. If someone jumps in with comments which don't apply in the jurisdiction of the original questioner, it derails things a bit. Posting on a question about MOTs in NI requires an understanding that the rules are different to the UK norm, for example.
