    D'you think they'll give an allowance for people with Asperger's?:rotfl:

    However... I note...:idea: they merely say "should" not must! And they say it's a "guide" length. It's therefore a "guide", and not a rule:D:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Erm...I suspect people not being precise over their language again!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oops, I hadn't gone yet! But I will now...:D:D

    Goodnight!:):wave:

    Told you it was four ;) Sleep well Savvy. :beer:

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    I used to be - sometimes. I've learnt to pipe down though. Now I just sit in smug satisfaction many years later, just thinking "I told you so!:D" (or would have told you if I had believed it would have made any difference or wouldn't have upset the social equilibrium - oh, that's a big concept!:eek:).

    Unfortunately - and this is unfortunate - there was that guy who had Asperger's who got killed didn't he after he'd asked someone not to ride their bike on the pavement. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/lewis-gill-killed-andrew-young-3181527 (Actually, it's beyond mere "unfortunate" - it's tragic and devastating.)

    I see that 'all the time' (not literally) - people riding bikes on a pavement - well, that's what happens sometimes.

    I think I would have learned long ago, perhaps after getting a cold reaction, that it was likely to lead to trouble asking someone to move. As a result, I say nothing at all and people walk over me all the time:(. I am seen as a lot milder than some on the spectrum, and I therefore 'get' a lot of these things. I don't have the problem with the literal instruction on a train platform to "stay behind the line" (how could you ever board a train ever if you complied with that totally literally?). Some people with Asperger's though are more "severe" in that respect and, even if they've asked someone to move before and got a bad response, they yet still are compelled to persist on later occasions through their life in their pursuit of the enforcement of the rules.

    In RL, I would not be confident enough ever to speak what I have been able to write here earlier. Not a challenge to anything folks;).

    Btw, cycling on the pavement is dangerous (or at least potentially dangerous) and people shouldn't do it. And, if you are asked/told not to do it, it's completely wrong - quite obviously - to respond in that way.

    Last week I was in the car with DS2, stuck at a queue in roadworks. We were stopped by a small road between 2 shops, and there was a sign on the wall of one building (a newsagents) that said 'No Parking' Underneath it was a sign that said 'Dog park' with a hook for dog leads........OMG that set him off for the day :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I had to listen to it all day, the different scenarios for what these signs should actually have said, because both of them couldn't be correct because they were so conflicting :D
    He's very into signs.....any signs!

    Sure the de icer will come in useful soon as it is definitely getting so much colder :(

    I do very much like the sound of your calendar, sure my little one would enjoy drawing on the white board section and the stickers or I could leave jobs for hubby and reward him with the stickers :rotfl:

    Anyway my little man still loves school which is good and today he dressed up as a pirate for children in need which he thought was great and on collecting him I saw one of the fathers at the school is someone who reduces the meat in one of the local supermarkets :eek: :rotfl:
    They had some lovely "family" organisers aimed at people with young children, meerkat one comes to mind. Hope you get one.

    :eek::eek::eek: to the dad at the school. Was it the really tall guy or the shorter chatty one? Sure you know who I mean. ;)

    That's quite a good comp. actually!:T It complies with what S. Industries thinks that should be. Or maybe not...maybe the SP Mixed Wt Eggs?:think: (Think M's not that size are they? But would need to check properly - and, not doing so at this point!:j)

    The Tiger Bread might go vs M at 65p again. But that's not good enough price for me. Or even for Savvy Industries. Assuming there is any distinction:D;):rotfl:.

    Not the Tiger Rolls:D:D. They went up from 50p to 79p. It's not onto the Tiger Bread! Dah... have to keep up with things all the time!:D:rotfl:

    Pedant. Or not - I've not checked, I have no intention of doing so, and you could be wrong in which case an incorrect answer would not, in my view, be a pedantic one. The pedant would be correct. And you may well be!

    Anyway, I've breached my own saying I would be gone now.

    Promise... this time;);)!

    To me a sign saying Dog park sounds like somewhere you would take you dogs for a good run and to play ball. :o

    Don't like the idea at all of parking your dog. :eek:
