    On internet forums, people's circumstances change to meet their current argument. When petrol prices rise, that poster will be all over it with nary a mention of remote working. S'funny. :)

    I do wonder why posters have to refer to sockies rather than post under their usual name. There must be a medical term for it.

    However on a positive note some MSE'ers were quoted as saying "a couple of white flakes ain't gonna put the brakes on the UK's economic surge, think of all the hats, gloves and scarves we'll be able to sell and we'll sell loads more salt. Boom times ahead"

    It's a famous quote from the great Yogi Berra.

    He also said, "It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings" and "I love little league, it keeps the parents off the streets"!

    Seems like the MSE censorship is in overdrive these days. Almost every 4-letter word being zapped out!

    But I preferred Boo-Boo personally. He said things like "But Yogi, Mr. Ranger isn't gonna like this"

    I always thought Boo Boo was much more sensible
    Yogi Bear: Boo Boo, you've tried to stop my brilliant ideas with common sense a thousand times. Has it ever worked?

    Boo Boo: No.

    Yogi Bear: Then... let's go-go-go!

    P.S. I know Yogi Berra is not Yogi Bear, but it made me think of jellystone park
