I read both threads (Bed Wetting and Can-Caravanners-Be-Here-Too?) and found CWDF to be turning into an elderly persons' home, all not-very-stimulating. At least geo provides us with a laugh: "I have...found that screwing...in heavy rain or rain and high winds...considerably reduces any blow...or splashes."

"How do you pronounce Staithes. Village near Whitby" Just found at least four versions from Googling. My fifth version is 'Staves' like it or not. It's a ghost village anyway, 95% holiday homes just empty. Now you'd think Whitby would be pronounced 'Wit Be' but it's not, it's really pronounced as 如染色质免疫共沉淀芯片技术. The correct pronunciation is 'Steers'. No I didn't believe it either but it is correct. In Norfolk Staiths are pronounced STAYTHS. Phil

I must be missing some of the threads that have caused your decision then Martin. Can you point me in their direction please? It would be interesting to me to see if the perpetrators are some of the usual suspects. Roger GG has obliged, there have been others but I honestly can't be arsed to search for the fools input. Ah yes, your usual stalker I see then, having looked at the threads in question. Some people don't know when to give it a break. Roger

yeah why was he doing that? they was no reason to stalk your every post like that. He is not someone who I have had previous run ins with AFAIK so I don't get it either, I do 'get it' when it's somebody who I have previously had a good row with or (numerous rows with!) like a few on here but it's extremely irritating when somebody just seems to jump on your posts for no apparent reason. There isn't enough reason for me to stay there any longer anyway, if I was still boating maybe I would have done. Of course that begs the question why stay here too but as I don't see this as a predominantly boating forum it seems valid to stick around and give the pikey bashers something to aim at. Not predominantly a boating forum. So what is tbf mostly about then? Is it politics and religion.

That was based on the overall balance of posts, and whilst there is a lot of boating stuff and it's call Thunderboat I don't believe that is what predominates, it seems to me its about 'everything' at the moment. Other opinions are of course available.

I think tbf is about a wide variety of topics..the threads start and weave off course and no-one minds..there are boat things but it doesn't feel stilted.. Its like a market place for gossip.

I always think that you get a better class of 'arsehole' here than CW.
I suppose it's because if someone has a bit of a snipe, you can respond readily, so the little tiffs don't snowball.
But I also believe it's a smaller group of active posters here, so there is more recognition of each others foibles, and maybe more tolerance too.
Anyway, I'm glad MJG hasn't quit here. Don't always agree but he is a prolific and interesting poster.

CD, I don't miss the ribbons of cassette tape littering the roadside after yet another favourite mix tape gets gobbled by a crap Goodmans pull out radio. MP3 while more convenient means you have to use a puter to rip and store them transfer to phones, iPods, SD cards etc. I hate puters. I miss my old 6 disc changer and wallets full of CDs

Rog I'm not convinced it's a huge amount of active posters on CWDF, sure, a lot of new members ask questions but it's the same old self important, self opinionated, self aggrandising lot that answer/argue/belittle delete as appropriate.
