    Somthing that seems to be more and more prevalent on this board is to start the post with 'so' - as in;

    'So I bought this off Ebay'

    There seems to be a new post everyday that starts like this and it's starting to annoy me. I always imagine the poster having an Australian accent for some reason!

    I received a letter from the DWP the other day referring to the switch from DLA to PIP , , it contradicts itself and makes no sense whatsoever , if they can't write something down that makes sense what hope has anybody got of understanding it or complying with it?

    Yes and I never quite understand if that means they bought it 'from' the ebay site or 'as an off-ebay' sale.

    Oh yes, that really winds me up - I don't know why! But things that grate on my obviously frayed nerves even more is when people start posts on facebook with 'Right' or 'Ok' or when people on the selling pages put 'Need Gone' cause thats going to help, grrr - my gawd it gets on my lady lumps!
