lol it was me throwing both the criticisms you mentioned! mainly because the poster was supposedly from glasgow, so the post seemed very dubious to me, the prices looked too good to be true so i was thinking of dropping by next time i was up that way and making sure no maemians were getting ripped off, posts closed as you say so no need!

i also mourn the perceived shift to pidgin english, i'm not a grammar or spelling nazi by any means (i'm sure you can tell!) and i understand on a site like this where esl speakers have little option but to try their best on a english only site where all the experts speak english, that pidgin english is only to be expected.
