While back patch clubs don't appeal to me, neither do Golf clubs or Polo clubs quote]

I had a Golf, and while the Polo is rather small for my needs/knees I believe the VW range of motor cars still has a lot to offer.

And back to the subject, by "way of life" does this mean general intimidation and the production of amphetamines?

Or are they all nice lads once you get to know them? Misunderstood, as it were.

The quote in your post is not my post. It has been edited.

I'm sure you are aware of that but, quoting quotes with quotes can be misleading to readers.

Not that it really matters

Please explain the honour in a 'code' where you beat a guy up for wearing a badge you think he shouldn't. I'm not saying it's ok for him to wear it, I'm asking why it's ok to beat the shit out of him for doing so.

How does it affect their life when someone else does something totally extraneous to it?

I accept that membership has to be earned to be worthwhile, but I can't see the justification for attacking folks who 'do wrong'- it's no better than when the miners were killing strikebreakers & taxi drivers.

ps- I earned the de Crane emblem on my tracksuit & would be offended by imposters but I'd simply tell them they weren't entitled and think of them as pathetic wannabes; I wouldn't dream of attacking them.

When exactly did "Miners kill strikebreakers and taxi drivers , then ? Its news to me, and I was directly involved in the disputes to which you may be referring.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_miners'_strike_(1984–1985)#Strike-breaking_and_journalism

Six pickets died during the strike, and three teenagers (Darren Holmes aged 15 and Paul Holmes and Paul Womersley aged 14) died picking coal from a colliery waste heap in the winter. The deaths of pickets David Jones and Joe Green continue to be viewed with suspicion. Jones was killed in Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, by a flying brick during fighting between police, pickets, and non-striking miners,[35] while Green was hit by a truck while picketing at Ferrybridge power station in Yorkshire.[8] The NUM names its memorial lectures after the two.[36] A taxi driver, David Wilkie, was killed on 30 November 1984. He had been taking a non-striking miner to work in the Merthyr Vale Colliery, South Wales when two striking miners dropped a concrete post onto his car from a road bridge above. He died at the scene. The two miners served a prison sentence for manslaughter.

Apologies Roxxo, I didn't notice when I quoted Adipose Al (Willibet) that he hadn't completed the [/quote] bit so his quoting of you ran into his post. Had he done it properly, I would just have been quoting him and it would have said originally posted by Willibet.

AA - Look what you've done, you've gone and made me upset Roxxo. No sweetie for you next time you visit me!!!!

I stand corrected, but I don,t think Mr Jones or Mr Green come under the heading of "strikebreakers ", as they were in fact pickets. I had forgotten about the two cretins who dropped the concrete from the bridge, sorry .
