Along with the jobs, the prospects and the futures of the workers. All so Sunak can beat his chest and say "What a good boy I am" in making Britain a world leader in reducing emissions. (Not global emissions, because the same pollution is still produced, just somewhere else.) In fact, every time this sort of action is taken, MORE pollution is generated in transporting the imports we need to replace what we once produced at home, coal being a prime example.

You learn something everyday. According to the Mail on Sunday I'm a ferroequinologist and so are the lot of you. Apparently it means a person who takes a recreational interest in trains. It makes sense when you break it down. Ferro = iron; equin(e) = horse. As Sir Michael would say, "Not a lot of people know that." (Or at least, I imagine they wouldn't.)

I had no problem with the post being removed, (although this is the first time it has happened to me on this or any other site of which I am a member. What I am disconcerted about was the lack advice, a warning or any notification of removal of access. If one is not advised of an alleged misdemeanour how is one supposed to be aware there is a problem?

Hello Andy. I'm very sorry to read this. As far as I am aware, none of the jokes or cartoon I posted were racist, sexist or religious in an offensive way. In my profile there are no warning points issued or notes of any restrictions listed against me and looking at the responses the jokes I have posted have been well received. I noticed that one was removed, but that did not contravene the points you mentioned in the red bar and I was somewhat surprised that it had been removed. I do feel that if any action is taken against a site user for whatever reason then it would be a common courtesy to notify them of this.

Many thanks for that. Following your advice I have sent Andy a public message on his feed. Thanks again.

Not that I am aware of. I just clicked on the condensed view option, but it made no difference. It's only on the forum jokes page that I have this problem. All the other subjects show both "Reply to this topic" options.

Thanks for that, but no it's not. It is on all other subjects, but not on the Jokes page. Both the "Ignore this topic" and the "Reply to this topic" have disappeared, along with the large box at the bottom of the page I have checked my profile and have no warnings or warning points against my name, (only just seen that facility!). I only joined the site back in November and still cannot see a way to contact the mods for assistance. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Funny I should read that this evening. I saw an immaculate Ford Escort Mk 3 in my local Sainsburys car park this afternoon. E reg in white. Absolutely unmarked. Didn't have time to hang about to speak to the owner unfortunately.

If I am no-one has told me so either on here or via email. How does one contact the mods for an explanation?

This is probably not the place to post this so apologies, but I thought the same people who use the jokes thread would use this one and I cannot see how to contact the site hosts to direct my query, but where has the "Reply to this Topic" box gone at the end of the jokes pages?

There's this old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, 'If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!' Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had 'fallen.' This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. The priest said, 'You have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen.' The mayor started to laugh, realising that no one had told the new priest about the code word. Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, 'I don't know what you're laughing about, your wife fell three times this week.'

I was having a grown up discussion with my grandson over the Christmas holiday and he asked me what my views were on LGBT. I replied that I didn't mind Lettuce Bacon and Tomato in my sandwich but I didn't like Gherkins cos' they made my bum sore.
