    Are you not actually reading this thread? They've already posted the response!

    I was posting generic information about what actually happens. This information could be useful to anyone else in a similar situation.

    I've just noticed JReacher1's join date. There were a couple of people who were PPR'd around that date. And at least one who was warned, and haven't posted much under that name since. ;)

    Funnily enough I joined when I came through on a google search result for the Odeon cinema. It was an interesting thread where someone wouldn't provide change to a guys daughter who needed a tampon machine. I stuck around as I found it quite amusing how this thread escalated.

    I seem to remember it got deleted in the end because someone started posting racist abuse!

    He has several similarities to dear old Goater:

    1) Capable of intelligent posts.

    2) Seems to be 'here' almost all day long.

    3) Almost never lets a post go by without responding.

    4) Willing to argue with half a dozen people at once and doesn't seem to care that just about everyone thinks he's wrong on a topic.

    5) When he gets going on a thread he has nearly twice as many posts on it as the next most prolific poster (as a result of 4).


    But, who really knows?
    There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.

    To be honest in this scenario I don't really think there is much that person could do!

    I think both the spectator and myself would exchange eye contact and nod as we both knew that my demise is pretty much guaranteed.

    Apart from do the obvious, and dial 999???

    On a more serious note you appear to be confusing my indifference to a minor violation of Health and Safety regulations with the actual occurence of a serious incident.

    I thought you were a fire warden?? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Blocking a fire exit is a serious violation of Fire Safety regulations, and could result in a custodial sentence.

    £40 a month but after tax it's almost nothing

    That's £40 too much, going by your obvious lack of knowledge on the subject.

    I could probably dial 999 myself ;)

    I thought it was agreed I have the knowledge I'm just indifferent to things that don't affect me.

    I enjoy the fact that if you disagree with people's views you are either a WUM or a troll. It makes discussions on the internet very tedious.

    That's nothing to do with disagreeing, it to do with baiting for a reaction. There is a huge difference.

    I'm not 100% certain what this means. However I'll take it as a compliment!

    Although on my post counts I'm just responding to people's posts. As unfortunately most people are posting against me I'm being very active on the thread!

    However it is getting tedious now I agree so I'll draw a line under it!
