This is not so much about the Yahoo story about a car driver who almost took out the M25 recently and the quick thinking HGV Driver who saved Xmas for a lot of people and himself from a lawsuit? This is about the comments about how people drive that follow the story.

It's the dynamic of how people talk depending on who's in the room. The conversation on a major highway and the people talking are car drivers and HGV drivers is identical to the conversation on a city street where the people talking are car drivers and cyclists. HGV to car driver: you t**t. Car driver to cyclist: You T**t. Just an observation.

Yes, but what about the percentage of people who comment on local forums?

In defence of the bottom half of the Internet the new yorker recently published a fascinating account of the background of the brown moses blog which started out in the guardian comments secriin

    • No hesitation in recommending Pavel and his excellent company. So glad we were able to have a slot in the schedule. Our move has been stressful in many ways so it was a huge relief to have the contents of our home dealt with by kind, responsive professionals. 
    • I have someone from Which Tech phoning on Monday afternoon. I couldn't get an earlier appointment. I am hoping that now there is a visible display, they will be able to get me online and then  remotely control the laptop and identify what went wrong and whether it is an ongoing fault or, if not, whether it is likely to recur. If they can't, or if they identify a hardware fault,  I will have to grit my teeth and let John Lewis's third party "repair" company take it away and deal with it 😭 I'm very grateful for your advice, but when I saw "Windows will restart automatically" my immediate reaction was to think "but suppose it doesn't" and "suppose the screen goes black again" which I know is very negative but I'd rather someone else was there when I did it, albeit on the end of the phone! Meanwhile, every cloud etc, as I have installed Word on my phone, which I didn't know was possible, and I have been editing and printing documents from there.  I haven't investigated whether I can do the same with Excel, but I will see what happens on Monday.
    • Just to the right of where the goslings were there’s a tree on the lake side of the fence where I like to watch the mother and baby rats. It was there today  there was a  dog. I was surprised by the nimble way this large dog jumped back over the fence. 
    • If you mean the area immediately adjacent to the water, I have never seen either a dog or a human in there. Surely it would be extremely difficult for someone - or their dog - to get over the fence (I thought they were iron railings. Are we talking about different parts of the pond/lake?)
