I apologise for not considering that it was necessary to qualifying my post as "this is meant to be amusing and is not a comment on the social fabric of Britain today."

That aside, where in my post did I say the people described were English. I would have thought that the repeated references to Celtic would have led the reader to assume that they were in fact Scottish.

Nor do I think I labeled all people on benefits as wasters. As a matter of fact, I don't consider that to be the case, but we all know that such people exist.

If you want to start a new thread on this subject, I'd be more that happy to give you my views on the subject, but I'd rather that this thread was left as is, if that's ok with you guys.

Respectfully

H

PS Scunner and Stoop - can you explain the term left turners. I don't have the first idea what means or refers to.

Inventing a new term of disdain into the English language. Pretty impressive that. Although I there are also those who go to the Bozburun and Datca and elsewhere who would be of a different ilk.

P.S. I have emailed Lance 12 times about this using the nickname "Anne".

And no need to apoligise to me either. I also thought the post was well written.
