Shows how little he knew - porpoises have exactly as much sub-cutaneous fat as they need to survive in their cold-water environment, and no more. Any more and they would be too slow to hunt or react to danger. If only humans worked to the same principle! Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

I agree but for clarity, what or who are the Ad. Team's or AD. Team's you refer to in your first post? Grammar laddie, grammar! Mr. Green

Edit: "It's not how you say it, it's how you spelling it that marks the man from the boy."

..."how you spelling it"? I think you've just spelled 'you're' incorrectly! Laughing


Yes I meant to have typed the singular "it's how you spell it" etc..
To err is to be human - thankfully.

The grammar is correct (but maybe not in Essex) - your quotation has omitted the two "possessives" in my original text, that being a) insistence and b) chosen. Thus belonging to a singular team (the team's chosen) and not a number of teams as that would have been: Ad. Teams' insistence. Grammar laddie, grammar.

And to assist with the clarity you seek: Ad. is an accepted abbreviation for administrative, and on freeL2 they are a team i.e. they number more than one individual. Such teams have a propensity to use red in their postings and/or relocate/delete members' posts. Note: the posts belonging to (i.e. a possessive) those members (plural).

I trust the fog of English grammar in your part of Essex has now lifted.
