That sounds like a worrying new trend.

Is it something that gets used a lot in your vicinity then?

Must admit I didnt realise it was associated with Downs syndrome. Where I come from it just refers to someone really thick...

Apols if I caused offence. didnt mean to.

Downs Syndrome used to be referred to as Mongolism, because of the facial features that characterise the condition resembling those of Mongolian people. Rightly, that name got dropped round about the 90s, but was used without causing offence up till then. The shortened term derives from that and has always been offensive.

Even when you associate it with down's syndrome? I would be really pleased if you tell me that you used that word without considering its origin.



You just can't help but get sucked in can you! I am tempted to not ban you just to see you suffer

only if its still valid to get into England and escape the Wasteland of the PRS, otherwise he will be lucky to get a deep fried Mars bar for it.

Desperate times indeed.

Give it two years and you can barter a crate of Buckie for it.

Back on the topic of houses with no neighbours, a couple of months ago I was slightly tempted by Harehope Cottage, which is in the middle of a large forest miles from any other residential property (although there is a nearby farm), but only about 20 miles from Edinburgh. It was on the market for £330K, but it looks like it has now been sold or withdrawn from sale.

But then I remembered the clouds of midges that follow you around in Scottish forests, and the bitterly cold winters.

Also, I don't much care for the prospect of losing my English passport after september
