Waddo 921 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 One thing that tends to pee me off is the fact that children can run around pub's causing havoc, but we would get told off if we went drinking beer and smoking in a children's playground! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The problem with men hanging around in children's playgrounds, whether or not they have a beer and a fag, is that it is assumed by an ever increasingly suspicious public that they are there for nefarious reasons. Better for you? My use of the quote button was purely to direct any readers to the post I was referring to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Girls with multi wheeled buggies for one kid. Just use a proper pushchair,. You don't need something with eight wheels, various hoods, covers, cage attachments for your weeks shopping etc. Tesco's is full of the ruddy things ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 My mates Son has just paid £1600 yes one thousand six hundred pounds for a pushchair & apparently that's quite cheap? Think someone gave me ours 30 years ago tomorrow Happy Birthday Gem x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 21 hours ago, Cliff Ton said: If I got paid for all the unnecessary quotes I've removed over the last few years, I'd be very rich. The problem with the current format of the site is that one does not have the option to refer to a post number, so if you want it to be clear that you are referring to a particular post you have no option other than to "Quote". I always "Snip" qoutes to leave only the relevant part of the quote so that it is plain to see to what I am referring in my post. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 That's true Compo but why oh why do some members persist in quoting on the next comment ? Some much worse than others. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Post numbers disappeared with a recent software update, and I'm not sure if anyone has the knowledge to solve the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Sometimes "quote" is necessary as what is being replied to is quite a few posts back & yes I admit I sometimes us quotes too often Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've noticed quite recently many times not on here of course but other places the use of "Mom" instead of "Mum, Mam" etc. those Americans are taking over, we'll be flying the stars & stripes soon.

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 MUM is the only correct term I reckon . Mom is too sweet and sugary, and mam is snotty nosed and raggy arsed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Oh dear FLY, get ready for the backlash! Must admit I always called my mother Mum, never Mam. In fact til I was mid-teens she was Mummy, you can take the mick if you like, it won’t bother me! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
