^^ You should be able to set up a sweep rule to delete any and all Amazon marketing emails, since they use a different sender address for this than for the useful, transaction-related stuff. All this rubbish from Amazon gets automatically diverted to my junk folder.

I am assuming of course that the email client you use supports automatic processing, most do.

Perhaps, in this politically correct era, we should rename the thread to grumpy old person Rolling with laughter

If you apply that kind of thinking presumably "old" is prejudicial, and perhaps "grumpy" too. Somehow I don't this this would work quite as well if it was just the "Person Thread"! I suppose the "Grumpy Thread" might work though....

I think that the majority of Def2 contributors are too sensible for political correctness (thank goodness).

Or perhaps rename to ‘What the majority of Def2 members think thread’.

Or is that just painting everyone with the same brush??

Been worried for some time about the incorrect naming of this thread and it's obvious thumbing its nose to all and sundry so my suggestion is this new name.

Grumpy old person, ethnic, gay, transgender, asexual, haven’t made my mind up yet, leave, remain, could, couldn’t, would, maybe but then maybe not, couldn’t care less, care a lot, homeless, rich, poor, DWP claimant, waiting for a postal order, cheques in the post. Thread! Whistle For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

As far as I'm aware, nobody has mentioned being politically correct this thread.

Or am i missing something?

Anyone?

Or is this like the old homeless fella who spends the whole day arguing with his imaginary friend?

Zed,
Just having a grump, as Barbara (Leeds)posted on the thread - and I didn't want her to feel excluded from her grump.

I might just set Barbara on to you! Razz

I can ensure you she is a woman. Whistle


Now IIRC it was Pam W who questioned the title of this thread. If I am wrong I apologise now.

People, mainly yooves, watching videos on their phone in a public place with an open speaker as opposed to headphones. I don't want to have to listen to French gangster-rap whilst trying to enjoy a double espresso and read about squeaky clutch pedals on my favourite (only) forum. Who drags these little sh**s up these days? Non existant parenting. Big Cry Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....
