And who said anything about locking up doctors and nurses apart from you ?

FFS: "Strikes - should be locked up like the rioters"
If you only meant a specific group maybe should have said so.
Apology accepted - time to move on...

You don't have to use a word to apply it ... you can use what it means. I can't see anything in what she said suggests she is claiming it is anything other than a "problem" and as for misleadingly quoting what have I misquoted?Derek27 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 5:13 pmShe didn't use the word "problem" or anything else that you've misleadingly quoted. As always, you read what you want, not what's in front of you. I've already explained, the majority of people interpret what she said differently from you. Haven't heard any public criticism of that phrase.
"Majority of people", would you like to share your source?
I have heard criticism that's what introduced me to the facts.
But anyway, we have uncovered another subject we are never going to agree on so I suggest we drop it.

Or Twitter perhaps? Amazingly they boast 600 million active users, yet not a single one has ever won an argument.
If everyone put's this on there Twitter accounts we might win this one argument
Not only didn't she use the word "problem", she didn't say anything that remotely suggested she was having a problem managing on her wages. As I've said, you see and hear what you want - everybody else sees and hears things you don't!firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 11:55 amYou don't have to use a word to apply it ... you can use what it means.

Sionascaig and I are a majority over you. We both read it correctly and as there hasn't been any criticism flying around the media other that what you heard, which could be compliments for all I know, I reckon most people will have interpreted it correctly.
When Sunak put his foot in it it was all over the media. In this case you're the only man in the UK flagging an error.

Instead of suggesting that WE drop it, be honest with yourself and suggest YOU drop it!
I answered all one of your question(s), but as I keep saying, you don't read what's written, you read what you want, or perhaps what your vivid imagination tells you what the poster's thinking.

Aren't you arguing with someone 20 years your senior, for what feels like an eternity, and mostly over semantics and who said what and when. Do they not teach basic concepts of respect in your schools.Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 8:05 pmQuite hypocritical, claiming I don't know when to let things drop and then replying, or trying to have the last word!firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 4:11 pmOh dear you really just don’t know when to let something drop so other than to say I refer my honourable friend to my previous post I would just like to note that you didn’t answer a single question I put!Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 2:32 pmNot only didn't she use the word "problem", she didn't say anything that remotely suggested she was having a problem managing on her wages.

How much common ground do you honestly expect to find across the generational gap? Are you sure you're not arguing with your future self. If you get your point across properly you won't ever need to get the last word in.
When you reply to someone it should mean you respect them enough to think you can converse. Otherwise why even bother.
