    I did use the disagree button once because I thought the posting was offensive. That was in the days before I knew about the 'Report' button. That member was banned ages ago.

    If I think someone is wrong on factual matters I will say so. Otherwise, what they think is down to their own conscience, but if I see a post that I totally disagree with but realise that I would be wasting my time arguing I may click 'Disagree'. I may, very rarely, argue against something but I don't come on GC to argue. I can manage that quite easily elsewhere. :heehee:

    I love all the GC members no matter how peculiar I may think their world viewpoint may be. :grphg:

    As Jack McH worked for many years in the department I respect his viewpoint on what people get and deserve. His compassionate approach got him into trouble at work a number of times. :love30:

        I do not object to any one disagreeing with my views just as long as they say why, hence my prompt to Jack McH.

              I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree with that.

                    £900 - £500 - £110 - £120 - £200 - £200 = minus £230. You're skint but you quite nicely demonstrated the problems people on low incomes face.

                        I must have done my sums wrong. I'm not very good at doing sums in my head. Probably that's why I'm always skint:)
