You mean that you agree that any mother who takes her child on a bus is
automatically a prostitute and/or dole fiddler, with the child born out
of wedlock? Which is what Ian is *saying*, even if it isn't what he
*means*! And it is that to which I take exception.

Utter twaddle. Is this correct: "A cow is an animal, therefore all animals
are cows"? No? Well, that's what *you're* saying!

Hmmm. You wrote:

"That doesn't alter the fact that I, a 55 year-old, am expected to jump
up and hand over my seat the minute some 17 year-old chav slapper gets
on the bus with a buggy the size of Peckham!"

Which implies that your sole experience with buggy-wielding mothers is
that of "17 year-old chav slappers", a phrase to which I have several
times objected.

Ms Smyth, I took exception to you attributing something to me which I
didn't say, you saw it beneath yourself elevated self to apologise, why
should anyone now have any consideration for what you think when you
care not at all for others?

Excuse me, but I think you'll find I acknowledged that you didn't use
those exact words..... the sentiment, however, is as close as makes no
never mind!
