Don't you know that the Chinese are trying to destroy world economies by creating a "cuisine" that is overpriced and that satisfies hunger for only about ten or twenty minutes. Now that's a conspiracy theory for you. By the way, are the fortune cookies free?

Maybe all this "apology" horse manure is becoming the new political correctness. In my humble opinion, an apology is a cop out. Operating in such a way that apologies are not necessary is much more difficult.

By the way, 14 quid is way overpriced.

No prawn crackers here ... but I figure I could have got what you had for about half the price. Come to think of it, I might just order take out. I apologise for not sharing

Kate, I understand that,(I am not as thick as I may sometimes appear) but if the apology does not matter, then why issue it?
It devalues any apology, because it is not being used for the right reason.

There must be other ways to allow these people to be recognised as having been badly wronged by governments of the day.

I think that it brings to the forefront of these wronged individuals, the memories of times that were traumatic....and over time they must have dealt with the trauma in their own way.....it just refreshes the hurt, and that cannot be good.

I will post no more on this subject, as I feel that I have stated my views and opinions as clearly as is possible.(for me that is)
