I've got no problem people asking for opinions.
No problem people asking on marque specific forums difficult to answer questions about technical issues about their cars.

Posting up bks like, "What's the tallest building in the world?"

They get what they fking deserve IMO.

Google is your friend. Trust Google. And do not be asking stuff before using it if you expect a civil answer...

...but once Google has failed? OK.

Same as not searching the Forum and getting a bking from the Repost police. Sorry. Tough st. Search the forum. How hard can it be?

I know what you mean with that.
I get sick of the "Google it" rubbish always posted.

I was going to start a thread on the same thing today but it just goes to show there are still lots of very decent, knowledgable and helpful posters on here.

My "Amsterdam" thread was full of brilliant suggestions within minutes of me asking.
Most of which I would not have found with hours of Googling.

PH: Google matters (not).

Have you ever used the search function? It is quite possibly the worst search function ever devised. I actually think it is hooked up via USB to a toaster, or maybe some sort of programmable washing machine.

Probably every question has now been covered in the P&P maybe it should be taken down. Let's just go through the history. rolleyes
