But if there were only 2 dentists in town, you would go to the one with the rotten teeth.

I did. All my responses do is cause compulsive dribble, as you can see.@Alan Harper's Tash I'm begging you, not to respond. Please just let it go.
We’re due our half hourly update of what Fordham might or might not have meant.

Absolutely spot on.For me, it is far simpler than that. If you went to a dentist, and his teeth were rotten, you'd question whether you wanted him/her all in your mouth. If you saw the state of a builder's own house, you would think about whether you'd want him doing yours. In theory, neither should be a reflection of their ability to do their job. But we are a society in which perception matters. To me the same applies to journalists, amongst other professions, particularly when dealing with opinions on integrity.
You can decide it doesn't matter to you, as an individual. Great. But to the wider public, it just does, and it is not unfair pointing that out, and imo it is naive to pretend or argue otherwise. The old Wilde quote 'only the shallow don't judge by appearences' is as relevant today as it always was.
There's fuck all happening at the moment, so I don't feel that uncomfortable with a remark on something more general that we consciously stopped at the time.

Hop on over to the Huw Edward’s thread to see no one calling out his wife for not leaving him. :-)I'm proud of you ;-)
Drivel?Having discussed this extensively a week ago, not sure it needs revisiting, but we don’t know what has been said in their household nor all the facts, so I’ll not further comment for the sake of the thread and the potential dribble that might be posted.
Or go to the next town.But if there were only 2 dentists in town, you would go to the one with the rotten teeth.

But I wouldn't like it.
Would probably start a thread about it on here too.
