This forum is like a school playground...
As far as I'm aware we are all 'adults', so why is there all this childish bickering and fighting going on? Why are people sending others threatening private messages and posting abuse? I thought this forum was for british people waiting to go to aus and british people already in aus to provide support, information and advice to each other? maybe i got it wrong.....

i must say i actually agree with you, i dont log on here to give OR take abuse but if it comes my way i will not back down from it, thats not my style.
i did not start any of the "playground" threads yesterday, but i had to defend myself against the claims being made against myself, wouldn't you?
anyway new day, yada yadda, lets hope we can all get along like adults today.

And all hell seems to have broken loose. :scared:

I wonder if that was his quote dotty because after living in Canada for 19 years mostly not far from USA soil, it is my "impression" that the bulk of the world's morons live there. I would swear the only way yanks realise there are countries outside of their own is when they are bombing them. Just a personal observation through my time in N America.

Well----- I live in N\America but it must be a differant one that you do mate....never found a problem in all of my travling through the states or Mexico........
