Top tip- ask for advice, thank people for it. Never express an opinion. Seems to work for me. Do not post about dogs. Or tyres. Or 'What's it worth…'
AFAIKT no-one hates me as yet. I've met a few people off the site, all of them to date are normal human beings. Some are rather too trusting and have followed me all over soggy Mid and South Wales which was rather sweet of them.
For a good idea of who thinks what, take a look at any of 'Keasae's threads. Might be worth making a cup of tea first. And to show how wonderful people can be take a look at 'petesgaff' epic tale 'I think I'm about to be diagnosed with cancer and I'm rather scared' you may need a hankerchief.
finally, archived somewhere is the all-time favorite, 'Agent Picolax'. I'm so glad that it wasn't me!
