Except the brexit thread I think the language here is mostly quite polite and friendly. Compare this with your average car enthusiast group on Facebook and you’ll understand.

Guys ... I think you're looking back through rose-tinted specs. I've looked at some stuff from waaaaay before i joined and there were some "interesting" exchanges.
There used to be some great gin/vino soaked barnies, much flouncing and then we’d all go off and troll some Greenpeace forum. Happy days indeed.

Yes! If so called immigrants can’t be bothered to learn to speak basic English within 3 months of arriving they should be banned out of the country, nothing worse than being in a public place in England and you’ve got to listen to someone shouting into a phone or at children in a foreign language.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I have made a lot of good friends on this forum, most of whom I see socially for such things as camping, fixing my car and sharing my pie obsession The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.
there is no such thing. it would be like saying anyone who continually breathes has an "oxygen obsession".
