Robin, I assume your view extends to people who enjoy food when there are people going hungry?

Someone celebrating a house purchase when others struggle to get on the property ladder?

What if someone buys something of limited stock and others don't act fast enough?

Things happen that are far from desirable, it doesn't mean life stops.

Robin, I know you're only trying to provoke a reaction, like all trolls do, but please do give it a break. You're like a broken record, jumping with glee onto any post that gives details of a problem someone has had with CWL. And now you feel you have to jump on a (deliberately ironic) post expressing satisfaction in a purchase successfully executed. To use your words, your contribution to this thread marks a "new low" in your repetitive postings.

If you are so concerned with CWL's problems then you have no doubt entered into extensive correspondence with them over the past few years - as you have been moaning about them on the forum continuously during that time. Perhaps you could start a thread giving details of this correspondence. Or, if you have had no such correspondence, just accept that you are a troll on this forum and that, like all trolls, you need to be ignored.

Oh, and don't respond with your usual claim that someone is being "rude" if they challenge you, or that we are being "defensive", making out that you know best in your superior tone. It won't wash. We all see you for what you are.

Although it's good to get back to a serious discussion you are wrong in your assertions. If you check back over the threads covering bad experiences following the recent sale you will find that I am absent. With regard to my intervention on this thread I had a very reasonable response from mod. Steve and a reasoned reaction from Tyke both of which I acknowledged and that could and should have closed off the episode. Then, quite unnecessarily Kip intervened to prolong the argument. I do resent being called a troll and I quite agree that trolls should be ignored. Why then did you not ignore my comments? Why do others not ignore my comments? Maybe you are guided by perception rather than reality. You are quite right, I do deplore rudeness and personalising issues. I challenge you to identify any example of my engaging in either. You are both hostile and rude and how can you possibly claim to speak for "all of us" ?

You'd best get right on to the Apple forum and berate the crappy products they sell then. I'm sure there must be untold thousands of innocent Apple customers experiencing this life destroying fault. Maybe you could comment-bomb the next fireside chat with Tim Cook with irrelevant questions about their financials too?

It gets tiresome Robin. Time to stop maybe?

Greetings,

Firstly, I can't agree it is a positive thread, an experience yes.

Secondly, I think it's about time you all stopped!

Other members at this point would say " puffins anyone"!

Whilst I do have some lovely photos of puffins, I thought I would try something else.

Is that a penguin or another exotic bird? It always amazes me how clean wildlife looks given that we need shower gel and shampoo to get anywhere close!

Lots of men (and ladies) buy watches in sale, most very happy, this very good. Some people buy watches in sale, not happy, this not good. Some people buy nowt but moan ... this really not good. Let's hope unhappy people get happy and not be **** off with happy people.
Be happy for happy people and help less happy people to be happy.
