When is a rule not a rule?

Night, David. Sleep well.

A working life time amongst the general public taught me just how grateful most folks are for the services provided and the efforts made on their behalf. It also taught me just how nasty and vindictive one or two others could be if they failed to get their own way despite careful explanations and doing one’s best. There are always two sides to any disagreement (has to be really, or it wouldn’t be a disagreement😉) but social media rants and nasty reviewing techniques take things to a whole new level nowadays.

Hence the proliferation of “do not harass or mistreat our staff” notices in many public services.🤷‍♀️

I've come across some of the wardens that David is describing, not many, but some .... they're those that used to have some degree of authority when working & think that people should still kowtow & tug their forelock when talking to them or the other end of the scale, those that would have liked to be authority when working and see being a warden as way up the ladder. The sign outside Southport's club site that basically said ... "It's 12 o'clock when I say it's 12 o'clock" was a good example!

I wish the same to you, ED. Is that against the T&Cs? 🤷🏻‍♂️

No idea .... didn't look! 🤷‍♂️

A bit of selecting posting there Dave. You missed off from my post: I'm not saying it doesn't happen...

So SC write on this forum about posts from another forum and I am supposed to take them as completely true? Is that you are saying? Is that what you would do?

And yes there are two sides to every story as completely proved by one side of that arriving early thread and the response from the club. So which to believe? 

You logic does appear skewed and incorrect in my view 

As to who has more experience  of club officials you may have years as a member but you have clearly stated that for the last 20 years or so your experience of club sites has been limited to perhaps a few days a year, apart from last year, and even then you may be up to 20,30 or 40 days in that time. So really you have no recent relevant experiences at all. I have done more days on club in one year than you in 10.

Sorry who have I attacked? Again very emotive language and clearly not true. another attempt at trying to devalue my posts?

And really why do you try and devalue anyone's post by using the term pals? Are posters not allowed to agree without being called this? Just use rational polite arguments ?

Goodnight I'm sure you'll be back in the morning.

Yes +1

On the relatively infrequent visits to club sites, my interaction with wardens has seldom extended beyond one or two sentences upon arrival. It doesn't give much opportunity for attitude, good or bad, to manifest itself.
