    what's this we business? :whistle:

    looks like just you from here... :silenced:

    That said your post looks legitimate as are the questions although maybe phrasing them in a slightly better way (which seems to be the PM topic) could be good but it's hardly hanging material

    The response I thought was out of ourder was the one calling CAB incompetent. Not sure why that has been left. CAB are doing their best and do need to be a bit Henry's Cat and know a little bit about everything but nothing in any depth. As a free volunteer service they do a good job an I thought the incompetent post was disrespectful. there are better ways of phrasing it.

    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    fivetide, the advice posted was awful.

    Good intentions are no use when you're giving incorrect information.

    Why did they post a parking related question when they clicked an agree button to only use topics listed?

    Probably the usual blind panic and arrogance that their "case" is somehow different to everyone else's that makes them miss/ignore all the good advice already here.

    Not saying otherwise if you re-read what I put. All I said was it needs to be phrased better. Calling someone incompetent is disrespectful and doesn't encourage the CAB to help on other issues.

    You can correct inaccuracies without being rude, a point often lost on these boards.
