(snip) A similar thing happened with “its” vs it’s”. These were pointed out to me on here. I welcomed the learning, and now I tend to get it right. (snip)

Blimey, I thought they taught that at proper schools :D:cheers:

Oh look, Happy Nomad gave Restless Nomad [the one with insight on the OP's  situation, and and a Law Degree in Utter  Rubbish, a greenie.  Coincidence or just pathetic?  Leave the kid alone, you bankers of the 99th order.

you don't seem dyslexic at all, I mean making a spelling mistake here and there is normal, plus browsers now a days make it easy to correct, unless one really wants to make a point and suffers from attention seeking disorder.

 

apologies if I sound like I got sympathy deficit disorder...  one day people will get less mad at people like me... :)

That's fine, I have never been diagnosed as dyslexic and yes I get buy but it is slightly more than the odd spelling mistake and if others had not brought the subject up I wouldn't have mentioned it. I am still a happy bunny. PS you should tray and read something I write with a pen, not only for the quality of the writing but also my spelling gets ten times worse with a pen than a keyboard. the keyboard seems to give me a window out

You are soooooooooo innocent, the  Nomads are related, of course, so in order to try to get a "won the day award", they give each other greenies, it's pathetic. I find this sort of behaviour incestuous!

Incest, the game the whole family can play, new from M&B games this Christmas!

 

I remember walking past a moored boat some years ago and the owner popped up like a jack in the box to hurl abuse at me for looking into his boat. When I suggested he should draw the towpath side curtains the abuse got even worse. I smiled at him and wished him a pleasant day which for some reason made him even crosser.

A good tactic. Last year at Napton locks some boorish oaf on a shareboat found reasons to insult me and Mrs. Athy as he charged past. After each tirade I smiled and said "Thank you". It didn't seem to placate him at all.

Is that "Mother & Brother" ?

I thought it was a brewery?

Mitchells & Butlers Brewery was formed when Henry Mitchell's old Crown Brewery[1] (founded in Smethwick in 1866) merged with William Butler's Brewery (also founded in Smethwick in 1866) in 1898.[2] Henry Mitchell had moved to the Cape Hill site in 1879[1] and this became the company's main brewing site. It had its own railway network,[3] connected to the national railway system from 1907–1962, via the Harborne line.[3]

Various acquisitions included Holder's Brewers, who owned Birmingham's Midland Brewery, in 1919.[4] The company merged with Bass in 1961.[2] With the brand under ownership of Coors Brewers, the brewery closed in 2002 with production switched to Burton upon Trent.[5] The brewery was undergoing demolition in 2005.[3] The site is now a housing estate, although the Mitchell & Butler war memorial, built in 1920, has been retained and restored.[6]

Their most famous beer was Brew XI (using Roman numerals, and so pronounced Brew Eleven), advertised with the slogan "for the men of the Midlands".[7] It is now brewed under licence for Coors by Brains of Cardiff.[7]

A descendant company, which manages pubs, bars and restaurants throughout the United Kingdom, is still known as Mitchells & Butlers plc, and is based in Birmingham.[8]

This falls into the "Half past three" response which also infuriates:cheers:

However, I would just gently like to ask the relevance of "boorish oaf on a shareboat is"? Speaking as one myself, obviously. Not a necessary remark and surely he/she was a boater just like you?

How many remarks on CWDF are actually "necessary"?

No, he certainly was not just like me. I have better manners.

Yes I would go along completely about some remarks on CWDF but as many others have said that is what makes a discussion forum.

I think you slightly miss my point, Athy. He may well have been a prat, but so are many other boaters.  It was the unspoken implication that boorish oaf and shareboats seem to go together that mildly rankled?

It was unspoken because I wasn't implying it. It was simply factual.
