I'm not sure of all the rules anymore..

[Altobelli]

And I don't think I'm on my own in feeling that way.

I'm an old bu gger and maybe one of those who are stuck in their thinking and will never change or adapt to new ways or even technology.

Every Country in this world needs rules, it is supposed to make us civilised decent human beings who go about our daily business knowing that these rules bond us together for the benefit of all.

But nowadays things seem to be changing too much, they tell us its for our and others benefit, WHO TELLS US ? AND ARE THEY RIGHT ?

Its got to the stage now where I get worried about what I write or what I actually say in public, I don't really worry in the actual sense of worry, but I feel I'm being pressured in what I say by an invisible force which is trying to force me into how I speak.

We cannot say much nowadays that isn't labelled ***ist, Ageist, Racist, Blasphemy or Insulting by someone with an agenda which to me is pointless and smothering.

And why are we trying to be so European ? open cafe'

[Altobelli]

SORRY I HAVE GONE ON A BIT, THAT MUCH IT WOULD NOT LET ME PUT THE ENDING ON WHICH IS BELOW.


I'm pleased we have this forum and that Gaz shares my belief in having the right to freedom of speech, not just that but also having the knowledge knowing that we are not racist and can communicate without the threat of being gagged for literally telling it as it is, for that I will be eternally grateful Gaz, thank you.

to be fair to the couple on the bus, the shopping centre is known as 'centrale'.

i take it croydon central could mean a number of things.

To be fair there is Croydon Bus Station, West Croydon Train Station, East Croydon Train Station, Croydon Tram Stop, Croydon Flyover, Croydon Underpass, Croydon Market, Croydon Clocktower, Croydon College, Croydon Fairfield Halls, Croydon Victorian Town Hall, Croydon Library, Croydon Water Palace, etc etc...

But unfortunately, Croydon Central could not mean a number of any other place's.

Are you an ex ClaretMadder, or is nitpicking your second nature ?
