Such a thoughtful and considered post.

Nice to have such an intellectual contribution. Is it a female thing to respond thus or is it more to do with absence of intellect?

Why?

Get in there and debate. It's the lifeblood of a board, and if people disagree with you, so what?

If your point is valid, it will stand up for itself, and if you are wrong, well, it's an opportunity to learn and eliminate wrong thinking from your head.

Plus you may learn something else in the process which is always good.

Don't be like Idiotwoman or whatever her name is who posts and runs away like a stupid schoolgirl running crying to mummy. Those people learn nothing.

Ignoring the recent posts.

For someone who is always banging on about treating people how you find them, isn't this a tad hypocritical and racist?

Its not important is it? I come from England, Britain, UK, British Isles... whatever, its about as important as what colour my eyes are! English is my native tongue, I live in Spain and I love it!

I must admit that although I love living in Spain, I get nostalgic when flying or driving back to the UK, anywhere in the UK. When the first greenery comes into view, I’m happy and using the first cashpoint is a real pleasure without the exchange rate to worry about.

The pleasure is slightly dampened when paying an exorbitant price for a cup of mediocre coffee served by an unfriendly face - this happened to me at Stanstead recently. But the pleasure and excitement usually persists for a few days, and then I want to feel the sun on my face again and I miss drinking a real coffee in a Spanish bar, even with cigarette butts littering the floor and the TV on at danger levels.

The waitress may look grumpy at first sight, but the way she walks makes up for it, and when I leave a decent tip all is forgiven.
