Forum Etiquette
 
So just what is the correct thing to do if you're out having breakfast one morning and you look at the lady on the next table and you think you know who she is on the forum?

Do you keep quiet or do you go across and introduce yourself?

It's a quintessentially modern dilemma but generally it depends if you are in your home or theirs.

Wearing large sturdy boots! Obviously!

Accommodation: Dartmoor offers cellular accommodation on 6 wings; despite the grey stone exterior, the inside is clean, welcoming and well kept. Some wings are used for specialist reasons such as voluntary drug testing, vulnerable prisoners, induction, and Resettlement Unit where a small community of prisoners live, working on projects outside of the prison as part of the establishment's Resettlement Strategy.


Much better than I get at home! :eek:
