Yes many of us came from them though, many cat and dog fans on this site and we have our photographers too.

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Well I have to conclude that many of " Middle England " have differing views from me!!

I am in any case not English but Welsh and any vestiges of Patriotism I have are directed to supporting Wales and Welshness and not in any way the " Queen and Country " stuff that some here seem to get off on!!

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Well most of us don't use our own web site, we like to share opinions with others on this site. Those who don't like the way the site operates don't have to use it, but for those who do, it offers good opportunities to exchange ideas on many subjects. As most of us have different backgrounds and careers it is interesting to hear others points of view....... but that is what debates are all about, isn't it? We also share opinions and ideas on pets and hobbies, but it isn't compulsory so you don't have to use it!

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Thats your perogative, you cant surely expect everyone to think like you though ? Many of us arent welsh so its right we support England and in broader sense uk.

I like seeing everyones opinions if its too much for you to see people who dont agree with you then possibly forums are not for you.

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Philip matey, like you I have detestation of 'Queen & Country' as I am an avid Republican and want rid of the monarchy altogether and her entire brood.

Julie 1962 to be honest I had always thought that the cats and dogs etc. in the side bar were paid for advertising space!

Hello Joe - sadly I'm not sure that Wales could cope with full independence unlike Scotland and Eire but we will have to see what options the mess throws up?

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Then you are barking up the wrong tree. I have never been on SAGA (whatever that is), and have no idea of the type of person attracted to it. Perhaps you have personal experience.

The use of the term 'trick cyclist' instead of the word 'psychiatrist' was, in my experience, in common use in the armed services.

If you find it offensive, have a word with the Ministry of Defence!

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Well, never mind. We all have our cross to bear.

Re: Boris Johnson out of Conservative leadership contest

Thank you for that JBR! My only dealings with the military " trick cyclists " ,( I can't ride a bike myself but have flown aircraft on my own ), were about soldiers where they had been involved with chucking them out of the army as psychologically unsuitable. I think their medical unit was based at Woolwich Barracks? My father and late mother's father were both RAMC Officers.

SAGA's site is Ancient History now and was one of the early sites for older folk, as well as being a major travel company, and a number of people here used to belong to their website which they unilaterally closed amongst some acrimony,
