Keep whinging! I ignore. If these things are whingeable and that's all, we are living in a happy place. Build a bridge and get over it.

Don't confuse whinging with expressing an opinion for or against a topic, would be a pretty dull forum if we couldn't.

There, that's my whinge for the day too ! wink

There's whinging and there's whinging. Gratuitous whinging is a no no in my book, but whinging about things that are unfair is okay. Surely the life of a GN is not all beer and skittles, so I'm happy to be aware of the downsides as well as the upsides. Forewarned, etc.

Well said Gary, like life in general, there are some situations and types of people you will meet on the road and it pays to be aware of them.

You should not allow this to deter you from your travels or spoil your trips, but don't look at things through rose coloured glasses either.

I personally think it is good that people come out and have their say about things they aren't happy with...
Firstly it gets it off their chest and
Secondly it gives others a change to have a say on the matter and sort to whole thing out..

I get very annoyed with over moderated forums when at the slightest indication of a debate the Mods pull posts and threads..
Thats the thing I like about this forum the mods allow debates to come to a conclusion so long as personal abuse doesn't enter into the debate..
