*sigh* Well. I'll apologise for the way I've conducted myself. No need to apologise; we'll just put it down to immaturity. If more of your young friends had bothered to get off their arses and vote, I'm sure the result would have been different. I speak as someone who's approaching eighty and who v...

You have my sympathy: my town of birth and childhood. It used to be a thriving place with lots of industry and busy docks. Now, it's a wasteland.
