Morning all. I didn't see it either, so can't comment on the content. All I do know for certain is that our Prickles wouldn't come on here to intentionally offend anyone.

Morning Prickles, if you're looking through that window. Hope you're OK chuck.

;-) :-D

It was rather tasteless but not worth RR'ing and I'm sure that PH meant no offence - not her style. However....not every RR is by someone with an itchy finger nor someone being politically correct. It could be someone who genuinely felt upset or offended.

I'm sure Prickles would have deleted if the offended person had asked her to.
I hope the post is reinstated. :-P

I didn't see it, but from what has been said about it, it could just as easily be a non-paying member who reported it, or someone who doesn't post often who wouldn't perhaps feel comfortable asking another member to remove something.

There have been a number of people on this board over the years who have had suicides in their own family, quite possibly one of them felt it was not appropriate? I'm sure no offence was intended,

Sorry but i had to have a little giggle about Jiminy's post's being RR'd and no one appears to have noticed the obvious? and concentrated on the Font?

The report button is still showing, A clear sign it has not been RR'd :-P

PH, I never read your OP but I'm sure you never intended to upset or offend anyone

I wish i understood about Jimminy's Font!! :-(

And a big thankyou to everyone who knows me well enough to know........that i would not post anything on here with the intention of upsetting or offending anyone.

Perhaps i should have posted my "Ding Dong Bell" ditty Porky!! :-D

lolol - we used to sing that song when we were kids. Both grannies didn't appreciate it. I didn't know the verse about shoving baby brother..... and I have four brothers :-D

Prickly - I've NEVER seen a posting of yours that offended! I'm sure you were just passing on something silly, no intention of upsetting anyone <3

You take that back Scozz!!

I didn't see it and we do have a suicide in relatively near family. However the song would not have offended me, I know PH would not post anything remotely offensive. And I didn't /wouldn't have RRd it

I read the opening post... it was Tommy Cooper's "don't jump off the roof dad,you'll make a hole in the yard"....unless it was changed later :-S :-(

Tut tut Porkie, ya need to read the posts lad LOL

Can I just remind folk that black comedy is part and parcel of British humour? It's what gets us through tough times and many a successful play and tv programme is based on this style.
If I'd just lost a loved one I'd deem them rather more important than a daft ditty on a chat board.
Reading through a post to the end then deciding that others shouldn't see it is patronising in the extreme. Somebody upset, my rear. :-|
