The purpose of this board.

Posted by Norman Dunn on 3/11/2025, 8:27 pm

I RUN THIS BOARD SO that locals and ex pats can reminisce, ask questions, see old photos of our local area, hopefully find old friends on here etc.etc
I am not running a local History orientated Forum so that someone bored with nothing to do can write about what happened out in his car.
We could all tell daily stories about where we went or what we did today.Those unwanted trivial posts push interesting posts down down down where new visitors will never see them.
I am not running this site for someone racking his brains thinking of what can he write about next.
I am not the only regular who notice this trivial posting.

Norman. Pity that I have to write this

The whole object of the post about my car today was WATCH OUT FOR Van DRIVERS. Yes a bit embellished maybe, a bit of a story yes.

You keep knocking me time after time again over since an error I made around Easter time either directly or indirectly.

Please STOP IT. Allan C.

As my dad would say either get out into the back garden and fight it out or give it a rest Norman

This board should be renamed "pensioners with pitchforks" and is no longer enjoyable to read, maybe its time to close it down........

Norman does us expats proud running this board. OK, some threads are of no interest to me but variety is the spice of life. If the board only had one suject then it would be boring. If people keep knocking it then as Colin says, leave. I've said it before that this board means a lot to many of us so let's stop knocking it and get on with it...

Norman, I for one look forward to my daily viewing of your site, even though I contribute very little, those who do use this board to vent their own thoughts should kindly stay away, because we don't want to hear all your nonsense.

Those that use the board to vent their own thoughts - - - - isn't that the idea of the board??

Why, you often vent yours.

That's what it's for!!!

Apologies, put it down to old age. Misread your post.
