Re: Trading Standards - what use are they.
Yes it may be current and alive now, but at the time it was not which is the whole point. It took 3 days for yourself and Labman to make any additional on topic posts, so one has to wonder if the forum had been more busy (which it was only quiet due to xmas period) would either of you have actually paid much attention to this thread if there had been newer threads with people needing our help. I think probably not given it took 3 days for anyone else to post.
So it was not the topic of the thread that kept it alive after enquires first post, but mine and enquires tit for tat that brought the thread itself alive long enough for someone else to come along see the thread showing for a few days in the recent post section on the home page and deciding to make a post about the subject (which is not surprising given how quiet the forum is over the xmas period). If it had not been for mine and enquirers tit for tat or with it being so quiet over xmas, then i doubt anyone would have made a post about the subject and the thread will have simply died again.
