Nowt wrong wi that Christina sounds allrate t'me!! :Dl

Let's start with Queen's English first then move on to advanced languages like Geordie, Zummerset, Cockney and Irony later

I suppose there might be a need for a board for those of non-UK extraction to discuss comparative treatments etc too

" I suppose there might be a need for a board for those of non-UK extraction to discuss comparative treatments etc too "

If the above statement wasn't so infantile and childish I would have called it racist and offensive.

I rest my case

i have found the differences here in the uk to the treatments used in australia are similar but different names are used and certain drugs available here arent available in australia - having a that sort of information available to those who need it might be handy

and there are certainly different moiturisers and sorts that arent available in the uk that i used in australia as well

so local information easy to see and add to might be useful

I totally agree and as you have outlined various countries have different treatment courses, even without the confusing drug names

What???

apologies to the mods for going offtopic here but I take huge offense at being called racist.

There was nothing even mildly offensive there! the reply was a simple bit of sarcasm and cynisism in kind in respnse to lalaallot's post.

I used non-UK Extraction to quite correctly cover both those people from and living overseas and those from overseas that now live in the UK, it is a perfectly correct use of the phrase, and a phrase that is not in any way racist.

And as to your issues with mine and other previous posts by UK members who do actually support the idea of a non-UK board on PHO...well frankly this is a UK based board, the vast majority of us are British or British born or British Raised, and so you have to learn to cope or understand the British sense of humour, Irony, Sarcasm , absurdity, surrealism, cynisism, the macabre, smut, innuendo, class-ist it may be; and it seems on occasion completely unintelligible to anyone not born and raised here.  Too be doubly sure a lot of us are sure to include the necessary emotes and smilies to notify those that don't get it that this is intended as a humourous comment or statement.

but if you don't "get" something posted here in all innocence I would suggest that you PM the poster and ask them if your interpretation is correct before accusing people, of whom you know nopthing personally, of racism or causing deliberate offence.

Everything you seem to be taking offence at is nothing but basic british humour, not in the slightest bit offensive, and not intended in any way to be so;  sarcastic maybe, but you really are not going to escape sarcasm on any UK forum.

My personal view is the more that information is segmented then the more difficult it tends to be to find. There are pro's and con's to having one central area where "prescribed" treatments are discussed, but I think the pro's outweigh the cons. The biggest difficulty appears to be with drug names and then specific countries regimes with regard to health provision. I do think however that being exposed to these allows us all to learn from each other and be better informed about our condition. There is always the very useful search feature as well.

It is also probably time to close this topic due to the direction it's headed!
