Rose invest in an answering machine. I have mine switched on right now and if anyone calls that's what they'll get because I'm not answering the phone.

...wise men say only fools rush in but I can't help falling in love with you....

''There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant' lol

They used to say "Ignorance is Bliss" **M**.

''Manners Maketh Man''...............

They say that flatulence comes with old age!!
Not that I would know anything about that!! LOLx

Snap Rose! Have just planted more spuds in my patio. `So exciting to see them grow, but easy on the buttercups please, they must have a reason for being there:-) lol BC XX

BC just back in for a coffee...i am waging war against....buttercups lol. They are very pretty I know, but I need that bit of earth for my taters....I think it's a genetic thing ;) the need to grow potatoes that is, I plant them on St Patricks day if I can for a good crop lol :))

but I will make sure I grow some peppermint also and send you some for your little wind problem LOL

Awww Rose, don't go yet. Was just about to tell you about my recurring flatulence problem, SO feel free to be very bad mannered, if you like, but please do not be Ignorant...it is not in your nature! LOL bc xx

we can't know which it was in this instance...but if I am bad mannered and rude it is generally a conscious decision on my part :))

after all maybe someone WANTS to use bad manners? maybe they WANTED to be rude...not through 'ignorance' or 'lack of education' but because they felt someone deserved it :))

If it's just the usual "no one is replying to my messages" maybe they have good reason...maybe what THEY are doing is more important, necessary, enjoyable than what YOU ( the general 'you') want them to do :))

Rose, tired of phone calls from people who think their time, woes, interests are more important than mine ;) lol going in the garden to avoid the phone and commune with nature...have a nice day all , do something you ENJOY!

xxx !

Just noticed on another thread that H B 40 says that she won't be back until 9pm. -jle

Just seen it pmsl !!

ive got a luverly pair of coconuts .u know

What i find interesting is that the originator of this particular thread is not responding. have they forgotten that they also posted on here. baring in mind Dermot's comment which I endorse i will give the originator the benefit of the doubt.

And so we still don't know which people have been behaving rudely through lack of knowledge of good manners (Oxford Dict def)

So, presumably, based on the definition, if you know about good manners but fail to put them into practice you can't be classed as ignorant?

Well funnily enough the opening poster has posted on another thread thanking people for their help only 40 minutes ago - how ignorant to not come on here and thank the people who have answered for their comments.

Also if you have a gripe over manners with someone take it up with them,dont try and encroach everyone else into bad mouthing someone else.!

I agree about the person who started this thread not coming back to see and comment on the replies, unless of course they are ill or there is another reason why. perhaps they will let us know in the next few days.

I also find the topics you mention rather aggressive, isn't it strange that the English Language has so many wonderful words to describe each situation and yet we seem to use the same old expressions or words!

Maybe we should open another thread about the English Language!

I think it's bad manners to put up a thread and not come back to acknowledge the comments made.

Maybe you were one of the lucky ones but not everyone is taught about good manners and even if they are not everyone who knows about good manners
uses those same "good manners".

Good manners are also affected by so many different things for example culture, where you live, fear of being ridiculed or simply being bloody minded.

Can yo give an example when you were not treated with good manners??
