You can’t say boo! to a goose these day without upsetting someone.

I’d like to apologise to all geese for saying boo...........

I'd also like to apologise to all British members of the forum for initially using the American spelling of 'apologize' in the original post title (now corrected).

Now you've probably offended all our American members,,,,,,,

The GOOD news for you Spider Chris is that however hard you try, you'll never upset an Aussie with words alone!

Have a great evening, Pete the Pom

... however hard you try, you'll never upset an Aussie with words alone!

That's a disgraceful statement. Talk about type-casting an entire population. Some of us are very sensitive about how we are portrayed.

Your 100% right on that.....very few other nations have perfected the art of deadpan sarcasm and self deprecation
you should try the show "would i lie to you" some very british humour on that

Seen bits of that to!
But a bit harder keeping up with the 'celebrities' mentioned there from other tv-shows like Big Brother and other equal programs.

Meanwhile last weekend in the real world of Police on the Wirral.....

First they published this:


Followed by this statement below a few hours later....


Quote:
"How is it possible for a large group of police officers to propose that sign, create that sign, erect that sign, and drive that sign about, without a single one of them realising they were misrepresenting the law of the land? How does that level of ignorance & ineptitude happen?"
