    Had an invite for one of them, and wondering what others experiences are, good way to contribute to local worthy causes? Good networking opportunities? Or just a bunch of geezers blowing hot air?
    I can sell you pairs of trousers with one leg shorter than the other.

    If that doesn't convince you to stay away, nothing will.
    You're thinking of the BNP

      You have been here how long and you still do not believe in a Superior Natural Being?

        My experience

        I was a mason. I left after the novelty wore off. They were a great bunch of guys from all backgrounds. The big problem they have is membership because not enough youngsters are joining to replace the members literally dying.

        I didn't come across many who were in a position to hire contractors. If you wanted general advice on say accountancy, loss adjusting, medicine there were always brothers you could turn to.

        Anyway, this was just my experience from the lodge I was a member of and the lodges I visited. YMMV.

          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Not like they advertise for members, for that matter other than by invite I've no idea how people join.

                  Who'd have thunk it. A bunch of lunatic unionists cheating to achieve the result they wanted. I thought Whinestrone would have applauded this !
