Morning all, thank you all for your contributions to the original Question posed, out of which positively flowed further questions and stimulating debate?
Been a very useful exercise, one of your contributors suggested I might have had issue with a So called Professional, absolutely right Sir, but sorry no medal, another thought I might have had issue with BRM and their advertising, totally wrong I’m afraid, but threw up a very interesting sub question, what if any responsibility do magazines have for verifying the suitability and qualification if any of their advertisers, what Due Diligence does the magazine undertake? Are they required to take?
We had the normal smattering of sarcasm disguised As Wit?
There was some really interesting information coming out of North America on how they manage similar issues.
The normal Orwellian and Huxley arguments around control big brother authority etc etc and some really good responses and suggestions to the original question posed.
Someone referenced Damp Squibs, not sure what excitement levels are being achieved on here, but sorry if it disappointed?
Lobbing Shells, in my 23 years of military service we Lobbed grenades and fired shells, who knows the Royal Artillery may have a different view? The gentleman seemed to question my absence after lobbing so as to speak? No just living my life popping in and out, I was not aware daily presence was a condition of membership? So apologies if you felt I was ignoring you?
But ultimately we must not forget Opinions are like A*** Holes everyone has one and we should relish and cherish other people’s views, we don’t have to agree, but we should listen, we cannot deny people their opinions, bed rock of the Democracy I spent 23 years defending
As for me I’m going to plod along and pursue my civil action post Global Pandemic for poor quality workmanship and breach of contract, but being a military man who lobs grenades, I’m keeping my powder dry at this time, thanks again for a very useful and interesting debate, I look forward to following other equally interesting and stimulating subjects.
