Don’t be baffled Susie, its (or it’s - meaning it is) par for the course on here. The use of the apostrophe is being chipped away but that’s what happens to languages. They evolve. It’s the misuse of the apostrophe that is worrying because it shows a lack of basic education.

Its a harmless non inflammatory attempt to open discussion where everyone can own a view

If your view doesn’t conform to the majority it is wrong.

Out of the 15 thousand plus members why do you think that it is the same couple of dozen or so who do the posting, drag a thread off topic with banter that is reminiscent of a chat room not a forum?

“Blood is thicker than water” according to the Oracle of all knowledge Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_is_thicker_than_water “is a German proverb (originally: Blut ist dicker als Wasser.), which is also common in English speaking countries. It generally means that the bonds of family and common ancestry are stronger than those bonds between unrelated people (such as friendship).”

I subscribe to that.

Well can see your point flashy, I know by the in fighting that went on within my mothers family, so much so that her and her sister fell out big time and never made up before she died, I haven't spoke to her myself for twenty odd years, alas I never will now she died a short time ago
