What I am pointing out is that there is nothing special about this woman.

That's absurd, she was special being the most knowledgeable person as far as English is concerned on the site at the time. Those were the good old days when there wasn't a cigarette paper of difference between you and Turnoi and what you both believed- he even gave tacit support for them pink rooms hahaha!. The situation was this: He was getting dragged around the cage like a five foot lion tamer, and you being the loyal soul you are you felt duty-bound to support him. The fact that he's relabeled you an embarrassing turd is not Beth's doing, and I agree you have been loyal to him and you don't deserve it.

Now, we are all about to be mothballed, so let's go meekly into that great beyond.

I wasted £9 on a new ball-cock valve for my cistern. I then found a 75p repair kit in Wilkinson. As it turned out I could have cleaned the salts off of the old diaphragm and not even spent 75p. All fixed now though. End of half term and Esther returns to school today. Good luck again if we don't chat further.
