I wouldn't mind being 'peat free' as long as I'm left to make up my own mind. It's when Nanny State makes my mind up for me that galls me, and of course this encourages me to go in the entirely opposite direction.

Do you included environmental groups in your 'Nanny State' David? :-\

So your moan now needs to move to the 'I'm so happy thread'?

Right I have a SERIOUS moan - as you know we recently had our windows replaced. Up until now we have been most impressed with the firm. I've just had a phone call from a company that makes window blinds... guess how they got our phone number? At no point were we asked if it was okay to pass on our details - had we been asked the answer would have been 'No'. I recognise that businesses are struggling but I hate being cold called  >:(

Do you included environmental groups in your 'Nanny State' David? :-\

I include anyone in my definition of 'Nanny State' who tries to interfere with my right to make up my own mind. So the "Eco Warriers" are firmly part of my definition. I don't, because I'm not 'Nanny State' try to enforce my view on anyone ;D
