Dear Pete,

Thanks for sharing your family background with us.
You don't have to prove anything to anybody. And certainly
not to our forum's keyboard "warriors" who would tell you
to mind your own business if any of us were to ask them to
answer any questions about their personal lives. Their
bully like behaviour speaks for itself as does their
constant whinging about everything and anything positive
in this country. Best to simply ignore the rantings.

The rest of us believe you.

The "rest of us" are not all as believing and gullible as some people. The "rest of us" might also object to one person telling them what they believe, too.

Some of the wild stories, lies. and belief in lies on social media undoubtedly come from people whose lives have become a fantasy lived out in front of a computer, often with the help of alcohol to boost bravado and imagination.

Another warning about the effect of booze this morning touched on its effect on the brain, in particular on 15-19 year old brains and over 65 plus year brains. There are unlikely to be any 15-19 year olds here with nothing better to do, which leaves us with the latter group. Anyone in between shouldn't have the time to be here.

Thanks Foxy

and for you ttbn:

Maybe, maybe not. You would have to reveal your true identity to convince. Nothing to relate you to the distinguished General Coates here.

Dear Pete,

You're welcome.

Take no notice of the irrelevant barking, that's all
some people have.

Success is the best revenge.

Keep up the good work!
