If you aren't "getting on" with another poster, ignore them. Don't reply to their posts. Use other threads - BE is big enough that we can all manage to avoid posters that we don't get on with. Mods don't get on with everyone and I think most of us have posters that we avoid. Leaving the forum is rather like cutting off your nose to spite your face, as you are the one who will lose out in the end.........
Likewise, if you know a topic winds up the posters on a particular thread - please stop posting about it! It causes work for the Mods and annoys your fellow posters.
Life's too short for stuff like this, lets please draw a line under the squabbling........:)

Exactly!! Unfortunately some people with hurt feelings act like kids in kindergarten and have to go and complain to the teacher!! It's ridiculous.

Thats Mummy and BTW....I am afraid I have not much faith in it selling but you cannot just let it go by. You have to clean and get it in order as if this is the one.:) At least its clean and I wont need to do much for another couple of weeks. I had to clean all the windows they had got so dirty over the winter. I was going to take the screens out and wash them one by one but I bought this sponge that claimed to clean them without removing. It worked great:)
Saved me alot of work.

So who can bring Easterner, DDL and Islandwoman back on here?

I want to know about the wee dog and the commute and the car buying and the family in Canada.

DDL I want to know about the new job and house search.

Islandwoman I want to know how you are doing in the Blue House and Salisbury and the countryside.

Did I leave anyone out?

Cheers

Incidently I thought there was a new thread started to investigate or get input looking for a house that would be a halfway house for returning Expats. I never saw it but I thought it was suggested

Easterndawn - Why do you have to read things into what I wrote? You are making this up as you go along . . .

I did not mention AT ALL that the UK was perfect.

Also, my personal feelings about the USA have nothing whatsoever to do with my comment about the industrial and financial issues. I have no idea what could possibly have you made you think that they were related. Totally different topics.

This is what some of the newspapers do . . . they put their own spin on things and the story that comes out is totally different than the facts that went into the story in the first place.

I need one of those sponges, I was looking at my kitchen windows yesterday in the sunshine and they are really bad, but I hate pulling off the screens and washing too. The screens are full of dust and dirt too and I'm sneezing up a storm.
