Fair play ZT, it was me that mentioned the skaeboard thing so thought you meant me.


I dunno, people have teased a bit but not sure anything was intended as unkind. But then I guess if you don't know the poster's "style" you might not get that they're just ribbing you.

I don't know for sure, but my guess would be it may have had more to do with the post that preceded her own account of the accident she had been involved in, the one where someone gave an account that criticised her part in it. Being knocked off her scooter must have been a big shock. If you're already feeling shaken and vulnerable, that post and some of the more insensitive 'banter' that followed may have landed in ways that the posters didn't anticipate. Not that that's an excuse - anyone with a bit of empathy might guess she could be upset by what had happened.

Or gives ordinary people the right to challenge the might of those who would store or disseminate false/misleading/irrelevant information. Has the usual vested interests squealing. Good.

    • It’s brilliant isn’t it.   My boys are up there with the big kids and having a wonderful day in the sun
    • Brilliant watching the skateboarding competition briefly just now, in the sun.  Loads of people out and a feel good atmosphere.  Sadly I am too old to bounce around on concrete.
    • "Levels of racist attitudes have declined in recent decades, although structural disadvantages persist and hate incidents continue. Studies published in 2014 and 2015 suggested racist attitudes were on the rise in the UK, with more than one third of those polled perceiving they were racially prejudiced." This no doubt doesn't mean that all are racist, but it is still a sizeable number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_Kingdom  
    • It's what they need to charge given high rents, staff wages and other costs. I strongly doubt they'll be making much profit even charging £30 for a rotisserie chicken.... in 2025. Rotisserie Jules used to charge £14 ish I think before covid, the sector is in a lot of trouble these days. Lots of places will end up closing as the economics don't work.
