Henlans, could you please post the brand of weedkiller you use. It sounds like it's a better bet than the stuff I bought from A. It killed the grass on places where it drifted, but the weeds are thriving.

Help!! je suis une mauvaise herbe - trying to tell us something Mrs B?

I am sorry to see that the constant sniping has led to PPRs of regular posters and it is clear many people are staying away - I can see why when this thread and people on it seem to come under attack from various quarters and it is not enjoyable having to read through some of the comments to keep up with glitches and other positive posts on the thread. Whenever politics, benefits or other controversial topics come up, there are major fallings out. Though discussions and debates are healthy, and everyone has a right to an opinion and to post, perhaps those types of discussions need to go elsewhere as they nearly always escalate and some people it appears will not move on.

Please can we respectfully ask, if you cannot be nice, please lurk or leave us alone. If it is becoming too much for you on here, it may also be worth taking time out as it is not worth letting this affect you or your RL. Whether you are a regular or a new poster, life is too short for so much negativity and it seems some people get real joy in winding other people up.

It used to be the case that new posters (sometimes obvious AEs) arrived to stir things up and attack people that they did not agree with, but a recent pattern is frequently (or indeed infrequently) posting members joining in and turning on one or other member. It is not big and not clever, it just makes this place a chore to visit and I for one have cut back and am missing glitches because I cannot be bothered with getting through the playground antics. I do hope you don't behave like this in RL.

For all you positive people posting on here, please do carry on and stick with it - hopefully things will settle and we can enjoy reading and posting on here again.

Good afternoon,
I wasn't going to log in but having read this I wanted to say how well this has been put. I think this is how we all feel. I didn't have the words so thank you Anon.

As I said, I have not really kept up recently due to RL. It is not okay for regular or new posters. I am not defending anyone, just asking for the silliness to stop.

Like you I am mainly here for the glitches and money saving .

To be fair she did come on & post some personal attacks on people & some quiet nasty posts. Is it only ok if you are a regular or having a hard time. Not everyone post there life story on mse so no one knows other people struggles unless they decide to share it here.

I know this will be unpopular but to be honest I don't care. It's common knowledge I'm here for the bargains/free stuff this is a money saving thread after all .
I'll share what ever I'm lucky enough to find & I'm equal grateful when other people share what they find.
The !!!!!iness on here at times is beyond it puts new & old posters off it certainly puts me off from posting I rarely even come on here now a days.
There a lot of lovely people on here who are more than helpful & will spend loads of time answer questions or bumping picture to the top to help others. Personally I don't care who's in or outta the clique or who likes who, there's just no need for nastiness you can't have one rule for one an one for another.

Totally agree with this DeeDee xx

No. (I'm trying to ignore the he said/she said stuff if that's what you're referring to)

Just want a weed killer that actually works. The stuff I got from A made the leaves brown a little round the edges, but that was about it.
If Henlans' 4 in 1 stuff does what he said it did I want some of that!
