How were my intentions in making the threads determined? "behind the scenes"?? You have decided that I meant to wind someone up, I have stated quite clearly that wasn't my intention.

I still puzzled how an innocuous thread like Mornington Crescent can be deemed offensive or even a discussion. It's a nonsense game.

IMO the short thread veered off the rails at the second post; I think it was a oblique reference to a, then recent, post on another thread. What was wrong with the Mornington Crescent one is anyone's guess.

Thanks thats great.

Now, what about the other thread, and the accusation that it was started with malice in mind?

I totally agree as was mentioned earlier I think my post should have been deleted if it was judged to be inappropriate (even though I was just trying to be funny) and the thread allowed to continue.
