Any The Brittas Empire fans out there?

I know! I saw that. I've set the reminder as I loved it

I saw that too. A much under appreciated series. Extra enjoyment for anyone who worked in a Local Authority. I particularly remember the underfunded ‘goody bags’ that Gordon Brittas tried to get his staff excited about 🤣

It was filmed at the leisure centre not far from here. 😁

I am another, who enjoyed that programme!

Lol I used to love this

My mum and I used to love watching it.

I thought it was really good it seems so long ago will be watching it.

Good show

As soon as I saw the title I thought of Carole and the baby in the draw.
Yes, it was brilliant. A bit surreal

In the draw? Was the baby raffled?

Typing too quickly Aveline
I don’t focus too much on SPAG on here

And I thought that it was an unwritten rule on here that it’s considered poor form to pick up on others’ errors

Shrug. Whatever

I used to half watch the programme, back whenever it was last shown. Will watch it if I can find it.
I am more and more drawn to programmes of yesteryear nowadays. Too many things in newer programmes I dont like watching.

And I thought that it was an unwritten rule on here that it’s considered poor form to pick up on others’ errors

Yesterday, I was picked up on a grammatical error, after posting on another thread, yet I too thought it was an unwritten rule on GN. I can't understand why people feel the need to do so.

Some people can't help themselves.

FYI forum police : the prospect of a raffled baby was well worth commenting on.

Aveline, sometimes, it can be upsetting for those, who are already fragile, to have their errors picked up by posters. The comment made to me yesterday, did bother me.
It can on occasions, make people wary of posting. Worth bearing in mind and in my opinion, bad manners to do so.

I'm sure you meant it as a humorous comment, unfortunately it wasn't seen as that.

Forum police 😞

By you

Actually, by FannyC.

The one made to me yesterday, not by you did bother me.
Totally unnecessary.

Anyway, rather than derail this thread any further, let's get back to the OP.

OK. I'll start a new thread for sanctimonious pronouncements.

I know for a fact that there are posters with dyslexia on here.
That is statistically inevitable, and I also know for a fact because posters have pmed me about their dyslexia.
One (a regular) told me that she is often put off posting because she is fed up with people commenting on her spelling.
There are also posters who have EAL who could be in the same position.

That’s not ‘sanctimonious’, is it?

I'm fed up.with people who don't see the humour in eg a baby in a raffle

Hope we are ALL looking forward to the first episode this afternoon 🙂

Apologies Aveline, I didn’t realise that it was a joke.
I thought that you were picking up on a daft spelling mistake.
