Forgive my curiosity. Who is Henry please?

[Mamyalynne]

Henry is the original user name of the poster, he forgets his log in a lot and rejoins with a new name.

No subterfuge just forgetfulness.

[Theland]

Ah! I sympathise. Darned memory!

[Sqad]

Anything up to £1,000.

Not sure that you need a website for that answer.

[bobbinwales]

We can allways rely on Squad to help with Body&Soul questions

[Sqad]

LOL bob.
I just don't understand why simple answer questions need a link......I just don't.

Actually my answer was to annoy mamya who is getting as bad as Buenchico for unnecessary links.

[iluvmargie]

AND it's not a body and soul question anyway is it??

[ummmm]

Someone posted in the wrong section. Is it a big deal?

[aelmpvw]

six clicks to provide a link, it's quicker than typing an answer :-)

[iluvmargie]

Who said it's a big deal? My opinion and I'm entitled to it.

[Sqad]

margie....correct,but francish alias Henry something gets special dispensation, especially from Mamya.
No,that doesn't bother me.

[iluvmargie]

She loves her links Sqad.

[ummmm]

Margie - why do you snipe so easily? It was a big enough deal for you to point it out.

[TrevorThePug]

The average fine is about £175. The cost of the licence + some admin/legal fees.

In 2019 only two people got fined in the £750-£1,000 bracket.

[iluvmargie]

I 'snipe' says the biggest sniper on AB - lol you just couldn't make it up.

[Sqad]

margie, I know and it is becoming essential on AB.
Links can be very informative and certainly have a place in modern communications,but when a single word answer 8s replaced by a website, perhaps we do have the right to comment.

[THECORBYLOON]

SQAD, what about the fine for folk in Guernsey?

[Sqad]

Corby.......yes,what about it?
Maximum £2000
I just had the feeling that francish didn't live in GUERNSEY, but good point.

[jno]

the thing about posting answers without links is that sometimes the answers are wrong, and the OP is not to know.
