Is it just me ...

... or has anyone else noticed a more agrressive tone in some posts?  Also, are questions getting stupider, people failing to do even basic research, asking daft questions?

While some of you have the patience of a Saint, I have not,  and being unable to knock off  so much stuff on my bucket list, (visit the Spa at Marienbad, see the Iron Gates,, climb the staircase at Melk Abbey,),  before I kick it,  I am not tolerating fools as gladly perhaps as I should.  What do others think?.

Definitely true on both counts , especially when an op has failed to do any basic research on the topic and fails to do so after being asked to read previous threads

We all get fed up with beans on toast for every meal , just as we get fed up of turning the TV on and seeing endless versions of cookery shows on all channels

What we really want to see is something new that is interesting , not just endless repeats of bargain hunt or SSDD about basic parking charge issues

Frankly , I remember coming here when the threads were about parking charge notices , whereas now it's it's mainly court cases , CCJ,s , debt collectors and other topics that have little or no connection with parking apart from the parking incidents were the seeds that became a beanstalk , the catalyst to the troubles ahead

In these days of internet browsers , the lack of reading and research by most people beggars belief , especially when us older generation used to have to physically go to a bricks and mortar library and obtain tomes like encyclopaedia Britannica

Going off topic for a bit, do you have Netflix?  It is well worth the cost of a short back and sides each month, and can  cover 3 households.

Me ? No , don't use streaming services like Netflix or britbox

I get my fix from satellite , streaming apps and downloads etc , have done for years

Mmmm , if you knew what I do and know then my systems are the same result , but costs less than a crew cut 😃

Shows like Clarkson and co are easily available in other ways

 perhaps you are being over-sensitive.

That is something which  have never been accused of

Have been given great advice on here and acted on it when told. Although my PCN has gone quite...for now... I constantly keep myself updated with what's going on this site as they have still got 2 years of a waiting game, so by doing so feel best prepared without bothering you again too much.
It's simple everything that you need to know is on here just have to spend a bit more time looking,  but it frustrating for me just reading some people's posts.
Even when the are told to act they still don't and see it throughout the post told many times by the people who know what they are talking about, it's winning me up let alone yourselves......
