People are also too sensitive. This claim of members leaving because..... they chose to take offense and leave because of it. I for example take offense or actually find it repulsive if I see someone doing a golf conversion, or swinging an angel grinder, but I’m still here. I don’t run away because I’m offended.
.......
Talking about offence, that farmer in the Freestate wants his fence back, the one you cut to fix your unmodified, original bus....... :shock:

Out of total curiosity, what Facebook pages are there to follow that are descent and don't have every odd person selling all sorts of unrelated junk?

Wysboek's great if you like conversations where everyone talks simultaneously and no one listens.

I don't think Wysboek groups are good for much except chat. You're already in the right place for serious enthusiasts.

Here is my feeling about , what's its name again....

Don't have it, don't want it, don't need it, and happy without if

its like the Government News media, ... you cannot believe anything you read... and never sure who said it...
