Dris - think it's time you and I got a few things straight.
Nobody "tips me the wink" about anything on CB. I don't take it seriously enough to want to be alerted to what's going on. (Perish the thought - got far more going on in my real life, thank goodness). The only ABer I kept in touch with outside of AB was Ethel (God rest her soul) and even then, we kept our friendship private, never mentioning it on AB.
Anyhoo - back to said thread. Your aggression was noticed not only by me, but by several others (and obviously by the Ed or he wouldn't have deleted many of your posts).
I don't have a crystal ball but I do have a good memory, used to be a proof reader before I worked for BT. I can remember the thread as it was happening, before any of it was deleted. For you to say that Mr.V threatened you is ridiculous. Where you got that idea from, I just don't know. He did no such thing and if Mr.V was around I am sure he'd clarify that. And nobody said you condoned shoplifting, yet you seemed to become obsessed with the idea that some of them did.
Prior to that, I had replied to Dot early in the thread - so I really don't know where you are coming from with your remark about me coming in late. (Not that it means anything anyway).
Oh, and just as a matter of interest, who do you think is my puppeteer? (That has tickled me).
