When Are The People In Power Going To Sit Up And Listen To What The Man In The Street Has Been Telling Them All Along?

Islay - ALL adults who have anything to do with meeting children are regarded as potential sex attackers and have to be C.R.B. checked before being allowed any access. This includes people like me - a 67-yr.-old-grandma with a long background of working with youngsters in and out of school. Please lose that particular chip on your shoulder, no-one is being picked on specifically and it is a fair point.

/// The wording of the newspaper article is open to interpretation - that is my take on it, yours is different. ///

Your interpretation does not necessarily make what you say is true.

I only read what it actually says, and go on what has actually happened.

jourdain2 please stop the personal comments about me. Thank you

[ladybirder]

Good to see you posting again and on form AOG, you were missed.

[anotheoldgit]

Islay

All comments made to a particular person are deemed personal, others are classed as general comments.

[jourdain2]

Islay - how can you take that as a personal comment? I was correcting a mistaken impression of yours and explaining that you did not need to worry about it. You take things strangely sometimes, no harm was intended.

[jourdain2]

OK AOG, but I was raising a general point in response to something Islay said.

[jourdain2]

Apologies if required, but I was still trying to be helpful.

[Islay]

Suggesting that I have a chip on my shoulder makes it very personal jourdain2

[anotheoldgit]

ladybirder

Why thank you ladybirder, festive season and all that, but thankfully others have been carrying out the good message in my absence.

A happy and healthy New Year to you, your family and all on AB.

Sorry if you misunderstood me jordain2, but I wasn't criticising you, I was in fact defending you.

[ladybirder]

Thank you AOG. Just in case you missed it.

But Islay, you DO have a chip on your shoulder and this is not the first time it's been pointed out.

Aog, I don't think the ordinary man in the street will EVER be listened to, he talks far too much sense for the 'right on' politicians, sadly ...

Bye

Why, who's left?

[Mamyalynne]

A nasty person who joined to be nasty.

[anotheoldgit]

Just to keep the fires burning.

Can you be a little more specific, there are so many to choose from.
