TEMPER, TEMPER!!
Mate,
The name calling is unwarranted. Your choice of words is very disappointing
to say the least. You could make your point without being so over the top!
You did not have to question what someone had been doing for The Gambia
when you were "agitating" on behalf of PDOIDS?
I did not follow your posting, neither the counter posting from Halifa and co,
for I
found your usage of words very pompous, saying that though, am sure a lot of
other
list members did learn a thing or two, so in that regards well done.
It is not customary of us Gambians to be so foul mouthed towards our women folk,
so please do not stray from that custom.
By the way, thought you'd like to know that Peckham Rye is no form of lingo,
it's just a borough of London (South London), and in Peckham, unlike the East End
and Essex, they do not speak COCKNEY either!
All the best
Dave
