¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWhen we were first in Australia ?there were three of us from the same family group in the same school.My eldest half brother was a rather chubby lad to put it mildly and was getting bullied at school. I wandered over in the playground one day when I saw the culprits in a group ?around him and I said ¡°Ok and what are you lot up to then¡±... bit of shuffling amongst the little turds. ¡°I said ¡°Leave my brother alone do you ?hear me - or do you want me to go speak to your parents. I bet your mother would be none too pleased (pointing t them) ¡±¡.and as they were shuffling off I pointed to each of them and gave them the eye-see-you sign with the fingers and said in as menacing a tone as you¡¯re ever likely to hear ¡°And I know where you live¡±. :-) :-) Gave them the ¡°she who must be obeyed attitude". He never had trouble again, but I did overhear one of them telling another lad ¡°Watch out for her she¡¯s mean¡±. I was 11 at the time.? :-) ?Jude On 3 Apr 2021, at 4:23 pm, zuiko <ftog@...> wrote: Apology seems to be a dirty word for some groups of people. ?I remember telling my boss some time ago that I had apologised to a colleague for arguing with him; the response was, ¡°Never apologise, it¡¯s a sign of weakness.¡± ?Tommyrot!
Apologising, for me, is the only way for people and relationships to survive. Chris
