  • Just had sweet potato fries myself.

    As a forum veteran, you took me by surprise. I was referring to being more or less being accused of being a paid shill for a political party because my view on what is going to happen is unwanted. Surely you understand that is not friendly nor constructive? It is a bit like shouting 'witch'.

    But I am not offended, I must be saying some uncomfortable things to get a reaction which is always a good thing in terms of furthering the discussion. I do not want what I said to happen but it might anyway. Sometimes I also feel that 'no way anyone could possible believe something' but in other cases, they genuinely do and in others they are just a messenger.

    I'll take it to the pub.
