Hi Seymours

That is the best way to deal with this Forum, and that is to get it off your chest, S, well said!!!

Yes, it can be a bind to be able to type any messages in at times

Press copy all text in your post before you post it, and that is the way you will keep your information

Regards

Kathy and Dave

Hi- copy text didnt work- lost the lot!

This is a very interesting thread. And all the Posts have very valid views.

So I won't go over old ground. All I would say is that I felt very uncomfortable watching that little girl getting fed up at times, waiting for her parents to finish up. In the same way that I feel uncomfortable watching toddlers yawning or playing up, because they are tired, when parents are keeping them in Pubs until late in the evening.

I am probably sounding old-fashioned here, but it didn't happen when I were a boy. In fact, I wasn't even allowed into a Pub in those days. Anyone else remember driving out to the local with their Dad, having to stay in the car and getting a bottle of cola and a packet of crisps every half-hour?

A tad contentious I know, but just my take on it. In my humble opinion, birds come first, but only after children. There are times and places.

Hi Blackbird

Not sure if anyone has answered your "spp" question.

But it means species.

I only know because dealing with spiders we always use the scientific names.
