Please, I have noticed that some people are discussing a disagreement between two of the members. If anyone wants to argue why don't you send your messages to each other directly, and then, perhaps, we can once again narrowly avoid World war lll I certainly don't want to get sucked into any personal conflicts at any level. I'm not into antagonism, so it saddens me to open so many Threads only to find the subject of discussion is who said what to who about who. Please guys and girls, If it's personal, keep it personal.

I agree Jim - it seems in the past six months or so, nearly every week there is someone having a go - discussion is one thing and expressing an opinion but it appears to get very nasty and bitter at times. Life is too short - we have teenagers on these Boards - what a bad example they are getting. Lets hope things improve and we can enjoy the board once more. Ann

Shelli - Not In My Back Yard. People are often refered to this, often when complaining about new houses, schools or whatever being built in the field opposite their house. They want a new school but........ Not In My Back Yard Kxx
