Happy Monday Folk.

Me and Sheila with our son and his partner at the top of Zugspitz, Germany's highest mountain.
I have decided to leave OFF and will be going at the end of the day. It is no secret that I don't like smut and, unfortunately, there's far too much of it about on here these days. It seems that I'm the one out of step as the mods appear to accept it, although I have had a few pm's agreeing with me. It must be an age thing. I have given my email address to a friend and have asked her to let me know if things ever go back to how they were and if they do then I'll return. OFF has given me a lot of pleasure over the 4 years I have been here but I really don't like the present tone of the forum. Bye to all of my friends and to the others I just will say remember P.A.C.T. - 'If you wouldn't say it in front of your Parents or Children don't say it on here' - the Parents And Children Test.
Bye All.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Good morning all, a milder start here thank goodness and a pleasant day in forecast I believe.

No plans as yet other than food shopping first thing and cooking cottage pie for lunch.

Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone,

Alan, lovely photo of you and the family. I am so sorry to hear of your decision as it means they have won and it leaves those like us in the minority.

Have a good day all, God bless.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Oh Alan, not another one leaving!

I don't think it's fair, but I have to agree about the smut and poor tone of the forum! Another member and I have agreed that it has changed, and not for the better.

So sorry to know you have reached this decision. Take care, and hope to see you back on here soon.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Good morning all.
It's my Tony's birthday today so I'm going with the flow...

So sorry to hear that Alan is leaving here. I do admire a man who stands up for his convictions but I wish you wouldn't go Alan.

Good morning ... but maybe it's not that good if Alan does leave the forum

Please reconsider Alan ... the forum needs you !!!!
