They did censure me on that word to do with born on the wrong side of the sheet yet left in those two absolutely dreadful words. obviously whover did it was pretty ignorant on just what those words mean in the rest of the English speaking world, like many Americans pretty ignorant of anything outside America, not all though some Americans have travelled and are quite aware of non american things.

For your information Mr Censor root means the same as th "F" word only much worse and fanny is the same as the "C" word; just about all round the world and you did not bother to delete them how poor. If you want an international forum you should try to think internationally.

No wondere i get fed up with this forum and give it a miss form time to time.

Ian,

Honestly, very few of us, on both sides of the pond, has any idea which word or words you're refering to. Which word got deleted and what does that word mean to you? Let us know so that we don't offend you again.

Hi Walt,
Looks like we are pretty equal on giving money to the government and the rest of the world, makes me wonder how on earth we can afford trains. I suppose we had better be careful or they might start taxing forums!! Do they tax death in the states? In the UK we have an inheritance tax where the estate of the deceased is taxed before passing on to the family, the tax is charged on estates valued at more than £242000 ($464640) and this includes gifts made within 7 years prior to death! With the value of property over here millions of ordinary people now fall into this trap whereas it was designed to catch the really wealthy when introduced. I would normally put an inoffensive swear word in here now but it would probably be altered or erased. Let's try it anyway!
BAS*ARD* [:O]
Cheers,
Kim

Kimbrit, you bet they tax death over here. But if you are smart you put your property in a trust, also start transfering assets to kids over time, then nothing to inherit on death, and no taxes to pay. Yes with work, they can be beat. Until they change the rules.
