If there is proof that the people behind this are a) Eastern Europeans and b) scammers then personally I have no problem with how you start your posts.

Calm down ladies...

Read it again

She said if only 20% of the money got through to kids (Children in Need) that's better than them getting nothing.

There's nothing wrong with stating that it is an East European scam.

I used to get shed loads of email from Nigeria trying to scam me with tales of untold wealth - so I call them the Nigerian scammers. Makes me racist?

Better than the cashpoints that give something like 0.005 pence per transaction!


And they have to give 0.005 pence, or do they have to give nothing?

Do the maths, I use a cash point on average twice a week so "I" contribute 0.01 pence. lets say that a conservative estimate of 1 million people are like me, which makes the weekly income of............go figure.
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

Surely the forum would only be overly PC if i actually edited the post?

The only time i edit posts is if there's blatant racism in my opinion. It's only led to one rift before and i stand my ground that i was correct in that instance.

Not strictly true Saps. My posts were edited at Christmas......no racism or swear words involved, I just asked a question?
Not only were my posts deleted but you also gave me a board warning for asking that question.


OOps! I feel some deleting coming on!

Sorry, what i meant was, i've only ever edited one post on grounds of it being not-PC. Not for other reasons.
