No idea Neil, deletion was not discussed - just done. I don't even know who deleted it as they were not registered so I can only assume it was someone in tech in Canada.

It was either the swearing - or maybe they thought the thread in bad taste due to the current situation?

some folks just don't get the english sense of humour mate, no offence meant to anyone just as said laugh in the face of adversity.

I'm in the front line and it's a welcome break. Silly ones like the cat leaving the radio on etc.

By far and away funniest thingever I have is on messenger but can't copy.

None of the jokes we’re aimed at people who have died.......that would be bad taste. The funniest one I had was a guy being given an option
Interviewer ‘ok, you need to self isolate. Do you A...isolate with your wife and kids or B
Guy ‘B’

I can't see what the fuss is about, all the jokes I've seen are about isolation and the social effects. Of course the visus deaths are not funny. Idon't think anybody is laughing at them either.
However there are two issues here, the social, financial effects of this will still be with us long after the virus is gone. We need to have a sense of humor about this and I can't see that a few jokes about bog roll hoarders and cats leaving the radio on are doing any harm..

Our grandfathers generation that fought two world wars and one of the things that helped them get through it was the constant **** taking and comic songs about the enemy.

Yes, folk used to listen to Lord Haw Haw for a laugh when it was supposed to be Nazi propaganda designed to demoralise us.

Here's a question: Has the British sense of humour changed? We're known for our irony (or sarcasm as my Mum used to put it), but does stuff now have to be more literal?
