Hi AYG, you posted a response to last night's thread (titled "Racist Comment")
stating:
"makes it worst when you are tootling along in your Corsa and he's in his Alfa Romeo. My question is how can they all afford flash cars?"

What did you mean by this and who are "they all"?

This one http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Law/Question1265234.html

Short answer from me would probably be that it's a company car - many young men with fancy cars get them from work, whatever their racial origin.

That's the one BT (thanks for posting the link).
I'd like to hear from AYG what *her* reasoning was behind this statement.

[Answerprancer]

...especially as she's been active since I posted this.

[ummmm]

She would miss it if she doesn't pay attention to latest posts.

Maybe you should have asked this on the original thread? You might have more chance of an answer

[Answerprancer]

I did.

[Answerprancer]

...it got ignored, and is being further ignored here. Hmmm, I wonder why.

[bednobs]

any why should people answer you just because you demand they do?!
I don't understand 3/4 of the answers given by peterpedant, DTC or desktop, but i don't demand they explain themselves to me :)

Maybe AYG doesn't feel like getting into at the moment, she's not compelled to answer.

[Answerprancer]

Bedknobs, it was a controversial thread and my question here is pertinent and not pedantic.

[Answerprancer]

Sherrard - that's ok, I'm patient and in the meantime I'll default to the notion that AYG is a raving xenophobe/racist.

[bednobs]

i wasn't suggesting is was pedantic.
How is it pertinent?

[237SJ]

Maybe she just doesn`t want to get into an arguement with someone who has been drinking and wants to antagonise..

[sherrardk]

If I was AYG I wouldn't answer your question, the tone of your posts sounds like someone spoiling for fight.

[Answerprancer]

Sorry, maybe I missed something - did you *see* me "drinking"?
How rude and presumptive you are.

[bednobs]

lol so you don't deny wanting to antagonise then :)

[DJHawkes]

It's automotive snobbery, I said a Toyota AYG said alfa romeo

[Answerprancer]

Bedknobs - it looks like it's you that is looking for antagonism, I'm just looking for an answer and asking the poster directly - if you see that as antagonism then that's your issue.

[bednobs]

ok then

[sherrardk]

I also think you are spoiling for a fight (pretty sure that's what antagonism is).
