    Problem is, by migrating out the *astards have won. It could be seen as a compliment that we have been so effective that they have had to resort to underhand tactics.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    No they didn't. All they did was try and stop the gutter press from committing some of its worst excesses.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    I don't know if I'm allowed to say no there are no dirty tricks as last time my post vanished?

    Hey guys, let's not forget that this is the GOODBYE AND BEST WISHES to BASFORDLAD thread. We are a community whose strength lies in each other. BASFORDLAD I know would be the first to support SodG24 and of course the greatest of us all whose post here turned up in one of the Stickies today, great days!

    This poster seems to know a lot about the forum for a complete newbie. Methinks he has been here before.

    Many times.

    Can I just say this, I know people are annoyed about users getting banned etc or posts and threads going. But we are guests here and they allow us to post providing we follow their rules, like a guest who visits your home you expect people to abide by the implied rules. Here they make it simple by having it in text.

    The next part is not easy to say but I'll say it anyway, if you don't like their rules, don't come here its that simple, their site their rules. And believe me I've questioned myself in coming here.

    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

    That's all very well, but if someone came to my house and broke my rules, I would tell them why.

    I had a post removed and I don't know why? It wasn't offensive or broke any rules to my knowledge. So, if they don't tell me why my post was offensive or what rules I've broken, how am I meant to not break them again in the future?
