formally "we was poor, but we was happy" now morphed to usua

It's my best sodding giving up face.

It did get pretty de-railed though, I agree.

[CaptainCarCrash]

Did it, I think it's an emotive subject which easily leads us to subs such as demographics and economics. There is only a certain amount of milage you are going to get out of we had naff all but we was happy what did you have? well we had f_ck all and were really miserable.

I don't think I'll say anything else on this thread because I don't want to get followed about the place like last time.

Lol voyager.

Mike not every thread has to have a lot of mileage and it would just be nice not to have them all degenerate into the same old arguments. Sorry you got stalked - not by me I hope?

I know that, you only have to look around this place to see where things usually end up, Daily Fail esque.


I wasn't stalked, honest.

I started this thread as a light hearted but positive piece on nostalgia - having been driven from other threads by tit for tat sniping and ponderous lectures on economics.

We don't do 'light hearted but positive' round here - sorry, Mary.

Enjoy one's garden . Sounds ideal.

[Voyageur]

Oh to have a garden! (says V slipping back to we was poor but we was 'appy mode).

We used to dream of having a garden!

If you were not attacking immigrants but attacking mass immigration then we have much common ground. Thanks for clarification.

[Tim Lund]

Eagle and Tim - I wasn't attacking immigrants, I was attacking the policy of immigration. There is a crucial and substantial difference.

Your characterizations of my argument are lazy and all too typical. My question of the value of immigrants should likewise be taken in the spirit of the wider post, and you know that is how it was meant. I shouldn't have to clarify.

Thanks for the clarification - it is sometimes hard to get these distinctions across.

The other thing is - I have no idea, this subject might come up all too often, but it is the first time I have ever discussed it on this forum. And in all probablility the last.

Do not be discouraged - just give as good as you get. There is room for a wide range of views here.
