Retlaw if you have never started a thread you are hardly in a position to criticise the posts that ARE posted......as I said, if there are no posts to your taste then start one.
I don't understand the comment about text speak......and no I don't think your response would have raised a smile.
So you had a disagreement with another member.....some time ago because I don't remember it...can't you let it drop?

Jen , it is most certainly going to cost a fortune.....it is going to take a long time and the rain isn't finished yet.
On the positive side(if there is one) the damage will create work for builders, painters decorators and will stimulate and economic upturn in furniture and white goods.
