Then of course the gov use it quite a lot when showing the nations financial position, in fact I never knew there was that much red ink available.

If you choose not to read any of my posts because they are in red then that is your prerogative. However I have explained why it is done and I think that most members recognise the merits.
Then of course we have those who are colour blind, how do they manage?

Now if you decide to 'settle for a nice black' you may well find you are in contrevention of the race discrimination act. But must admit those with long slim legs are very appealing.

On the "OTHER" site which I have used for years I wasted half an hour trying to get on site through the registration process yesterday when told my log in was incorrect ,tred again this morning and got to end of lengthy registration form and that was rejected too. Is it my age (82) ?
Talk about feeling unwanted...... These days with passwords for everything it gets complicated and maks you wonder if its worth while,,maybe go to library and read sea stories instead. trouble is neef stronger glasses and all the books are in French.
