How can this thread be more interesting?

Yes indeed, our country's entry has been disrupted on stage!  We could discuss that?

or best ever British eurovison? I'll say Buck's Fiss?

 

Post edit, apparently A quick reminder - those living in the UK can't vote for SuRie so perhaps AD could vote?

How to make this thread interesting?.----   Discuss Brexit ----- That won't happen of course , as discussions about  "news and current" affairs have been banned due to a few people being unable to accept that others might have a different opinion to themselves.

Sorry, but I disagree. I look on "General Chat" as exactly that - the sort of chat you might have with your neighbours on site about where they live and their families, where you've stayed, places you've visited, pubs you've eaten in etc etc and by and large that's what it is. May not be of interest to everyone all the time but, that's life!

I don't want to have a deep discussion about politics, religion, the meaning of life etc with my neighbours on site - there are other places for that.

TF - as you and I both know from the history of CT and even from another forum we both contribute to, the political discussions inevitably end up with two entrenched and opposing views being regurgitated over and over again. Let's keep CT clear of that. 

Agree exactly with M, it's a place to discuss things with like-minded (ie caravan club members) people, on the sort of conversations you might have in your neighbours awning if invited in, or around the dish washing/tap area.

And I strongly suspect that if this were to happen you certainly wouldn't get into a discussion on politics, religion, or anything that could lead to any friction (unless you get onto the pads in your Alko hitch). Common sense really.

This is a caravaning/MH website with some light general chat thrown in. If people want to discuss other 'heavier' stuff there are plenty of other forums available, why do people want to turn a caravan/MH based site into something else? 

Every now and again TF raises this type of discussion. I'm afraid if you want to start a discussion it's better to come up with something new rather than a repeating the same comments or demands and hoping someone else will do the honours.  

It's just the luck of the draw whether a discussion takes off or not, you have to be prepared for failures too. I look forward to new ideas or thoughts on here. 

TF, as brue says you have asked this question before. If you don't like the answers given then its quite simple, don't read the threads that you find boring. 

There are parts of CT that I don't bother with as they don't interest me. However I do like the friendly chit chat of 'what are you doing today' its always a good measure of what the weather is really doing rather than the sometimes fictitious weather report

I don't like arguments, its one of the things that I certainty don't miss now that I no longer go to work. Life is too short to be constantly picking fights.

The thread is as about making this section more interesting.  My tongue in cheek answer was Discuss Brexit. Some people obviously ignored the smiley   

Ive always been happy about news and current affairs being banned as there was a few people who couldn't discuss those subjects without flinging their toys out the pram and spoiled any rational discussion.

And that last insulting comment about "flinging toys out of the pram" was precisely the sort of reason why threads got closed in the past, K - the sort of comment so beloved by certain posters when their ideas were disagreed with.
