Whisper: I got my first telling off (and it wasn't too bad) (1 Viewer)

[SmithsInFrance]

We are totally new to the MH world so joined up here because there is so much information and everyone seems very friendly and helpful.

I know that just about everything we could possibly want to know is probably on here somewhere, but it is a mammoth task working out what you need to know, then finding it, then understanding it (its Mrs Smith here doing all the research...).

Anyway, I did get a bit of a scolding in response to a question - but as we could have been the cause of an exploding ferry it was definitely fair enough . So just wanted to say no hard feelings and thanks for all the advice and really enjoying the forums.

Only one telling off in 15 posts you are not trying hard enough.

 

[SmithsInFrance]

don't worry I'll be trying harder. In fact my hubby says I'm often really trying...

@SmithsInFrance
Wouldn't worry, some on here have a real flair for histrionics as you witnessed.
Just remember it's only a forum and the majority of answers are only opinions not fact.

... plus a lot of the funsters are grumpy old men!!! There are, however, quite a few of us younger ladies!

Some people are just not prepared to make the effort.

... most are men though ...

although I did resist saying OLD ...

 

[Puddleduck]

but all the ladies are young, slim, gorgeous - and not at all grumpy - although you might find a @Stroppy Bird

Who told you off? Send him over to us women. We'll sort him out no problem.

We all had to learn by our mistakes, and you'll find a few people here ready to criticise anything and everything.

We're fairly new to all this, migrated from boating, and it's a generally a very different (and much nicer) world here.

As said above, it's only a forum, not life. Never take anything too personally and keep an eye out for the occasional wind up merchant

That's a very generous view:-)
So often some of the facts posted here are in fact just opinions though the posters of those opinions would argue the point. :-)

Just who do you believe these days when topics like Brexit, Trump, CC Warders, A Frames, Gassing, Best Route To Barcelona and The Number Of Days On 13kg Of Calor elicit such a variety of factual replies?

Long may debate and opinions reign.

I think middle-aged starts at around 97. Apparently 60 is the new 30

It's all to do with finance:-

If you can do as you want, but only a lack of money prevents you, that is called youth
If you can afford to do as you please, but struggle to do it, then that is called middle age
If you can afford to do as you please, but have to employ someone else to do it for you, that is called elderly

Apologies if my response on the other thread was bit abrupt. People leaving gas on, on ferries really winds me up, there are so many that take the attitude"why shouldn't I" refusing to understand the consequences.

Not ALL the men are grumpy

Not many of the ladies are younger but then some would argue not many of the ladies are ladies!

..........just sayin' like.

I blame it on the fact that being young(ish ) I still have to work. Ho hum.

@SmithsInFrance glad to see that the responses you got in the other thread haven't scared you off the forum.

Don't worry, didn't get upset - that's what I was saying really It was ignorance on our part not a bad attitude. There is just so much to learn (and then trying to remember it all...)
