What’s that thing that looks like an elephant’s trunk ?

Having spent time on a forum for the 50+ recently,where vicious personal insults are the norm,I can appreciate just how polite this is in comparison,or maybe we are just really nice people.But benyboy,what on earth are you doing treating your knees to a 30 mile walk ?

Name one member of the royal family you can genuinely respect for their own sake,not just as a royal,and I might agree with you.As for Murray bowing,possibly as a mark of respect from a younger man to an older woman,yes.

Best of luck Robbie,stay strong.

EGPH,you can’t win.
The big difference between yourself and the great majority of posters here is that we actually lived through those times.
It’s one thing to read dispassionately accounts of events,but quite another to be confronted with the immediate evidence of those atrocities at the time they actually happened.Over twenty years later,I’m still haunted by the faces of two British soldiers who were dragged from their car and beaten to death by a mob.
I accept that you’ve heard first-hand accounts from people who experienced these events,and so have I,having relatives who lived in Belfast at the time.Yes,there were shameful events on both sides,but you have to accept that the posters who disagree with you really do know what they’re talking about.
