I apologise

for my part in the language thread being closed.

However in mitigation when some people don't properly read what you say, misrepresent it for their own ends or do not accept why you are desperately trying not to elaborate there does comes a time when you have to stick up for yourself. I genuinely did try to stick to topic up until that point and I believe the thread will bear that out..

I do however strongly maintain that it is not racist, when in England, to expect to be able to converse in English with those with whom one has day to day dealings and to understand their responses. As I said in my opening post on the thread in a foreign country I would expect to converse in the language of that country.

I also apologise to I agree. Two wrongs do not make a right.

    I apologise for my part in that as well.

    I also apologise for my comments to you which were rude, unfair and not needed.

    I did try and edit these almost as soon as a I could but was unable to.

    PS my old Dad always told me never to discuss politics or religion! Wise man.

    Personally I don't even see why it was closed.

    My thread had a good run. I think it did fantastic and I was really proud we got to 8 pages.
    I think if we can continue in the same vein, we'll have a very good season.
    We just need to take one thread at a time :-)

    I never even saw it, which is just as well really since lately almost anything I say upsets someone or sparks an argument (I know how you feel Len).

    I apologise for not knowing what anyone is apologising about!

    You will let me know won't you fellow CL'ers if it's me that is the only confused one on here?

    You can put your apology where the sun doesn't shine.

    My son threw a crisp packet on the street on the way to the school and I never picked it up, I fear that this unsightly littering may contribute to global warming, I apologise for that.

    What exactly do you mean by that?!?!?

    I accept your apology. However, I must apologise for not knowing what you are apologising for.

    I like this apology. I was annoyed that you made all these accusations to Len then finished with The End! Like it was the word of The Lord... And we all had to agree. I didn't.

    At least Len is showing his magnanimity with this post

    Was the thread inspired by your love of the Daily Express?

    This forum is due to combust. The combination of an international break, us not getting beat is too much. You are all off you're lids!

    Listen guys and I know I am probably preaching to the converted but a wise old owl once told me when I was a very young man avoid argument on race, religion and politics and you won't end up in too many confrontational situations throughout your life. Don't get me wrong I have MY views on all these tinderbox subjects but they remain personal to me. If you show your hand, whichever side of the debate you favour then expect this type of regret and apology thread to follow. I have noticed that a certain poster of late is very good at drawing the pin on a grenade and throwing it into a room, I refuse to play his game, those of of you that enjoy it carry on by all means.
