Playing Devils Advocate here, squeaky, there's a tone running along the whole of this thread which comes across as ... autocratic. Now I am sure that isn't intended, but it does.

That's because I very definitely didn't want to be faced with having to choose a short list of offerings from our readers. If I pick one over another I'm bound to upset somebody that I haven't picked. Especially if the offers are very similar - and they're going to be similar when limited to about thirty words and describing the same one thing.

So I set up (in discussion) the four choices that four Board Guides and MSE Martin came up with and then asked you all to choose between those.

And yes, I did my best to keep this on track because I still do not want to have to choose between each of you. I really don't.

Looks like I'm not going to get away with though does it?

When the dust settles everyone is going to be satisfied with the wording because in broad terms we all feel the same but express it differently :grouphug:

If I didn't think that it would PUT OFF our younger readers (and that does make me feel old - I'm only 26!) - I'd say that this board was about Home Economics. In its original and truest sense.

Though I'm going with number 4 from the original list.

Thank you all.

It's clear that I made a mistake in trying to limit the discussion to a few set options and so I apologise to everybody.

I am therefore closing this thread and will start a new thread leaving all the options and choices open to everyone.
