 Re: The O/T thread! Because it's a fairly close knit forum and some of us know some others of us in real life, that's why. And we're all reasonably civilised people. Even us Northerners.

Re: The O/T thread! It's never been like that before?

Re: The O/T thread! By the way, I thnk this is quite funny ... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/soci ... 3040865066Especially ... "19-year-old student Stephen Malley said: “The worst thing about Mrs Thatcher was her lack of humanity, empathy or emotion. “That’s why it’s great that she’s succumbed to dementia after what would have been a long, frustrating and humiliating illness of the type commonly affecting elderly people. The fucking old cow.”"

Re: The O/T thread! It's certainly calmed down over the years since we started it.

Re: The O/T thread! Smiffy wrote: At least when America defeated Japan and Germany in WW2 it had the good grace to rebuild the defeated nations by enacting the Marshall Plan. I'm staying right out of this Margaret Thatcher argument, it polarises so much that both sides will never budge, but I will comment on the above quote. Both the US and UK were starkly aware of the danger of not helping post-WW2 Germany to rebuild. They only had to look to post-WW1 Germany which was greatly impoverished by the Treaty of Versailles. It was pretty much as a result of the terms of that treaty that brought the National Socialist German Workers' Party to power (better know as The Nazi Party), and we know what happened next.

Re: The O/T thread! O/T means off topic, which means nothing to do with 2CVs.
