May be Llanberis? It certainly looks modern.

Possibly the most infamous would be the summit building on Snowdon. Although de gustibus obviously applies.

No I am not, I am steeling myself to ignore them completely, easy enough really with the 'foe' function
I read yours instead :wink:

When does personally declining to read someone's posts become trying to stop that person posting?

I cannot possibly try to stop someone else posting. I may politely ask them to keep away and avoid quoting me. I guess I am a bit naive to hope that, if politeness does not work, impoliteness might

Still, I have scores of Friends on these Fora :wink:

I use the ignore function as noted above
Maybe the dislike is not mutual, I wish it was, like in real life, where people avoid each other for a while, often there is no need for communication, and reconcile later. You should know about this bonefish, as a HR professional

Going cycling today to cool down, or warm up %)
