Whipping Post? Good Grief! I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel like I've been tied to the Whipping Post.
And I have given you a thumbs-up to bring you back up from -1. Some people have no taste.
Someone suggested I should be appearing in Pseud's Corner in Private Eye on here recently - can't remember what it was for.
You seem to have much more of a claim on such an honour....... But I did enjoy reading it...... And have some sympathy with your take on it all! :thumbsup:
