I blame Adam for eating that apple. It was all set to be a perfect world prior to him doing that.

World would of been brilliant if only God had said the apple was purchased from ASDA, no chance of Adam being tempted!

Nice to see Adam getting the flack. for millennia it has been Eve's fault as the original temptress, thus justifying the subjugation of women. Personally, I blame the snake !

Just forget the anger and angst guys. Focus on things where we can make a difference. Nobody on here is likely to solve international geopolitical issues.
Stick to the flowers and native wildlife...and minors of course :D

All journeys start with a single step. Not making a difference is the age old excuse. Given the lie by the suffragettes, the tolpuddle martyrs, Turing, and millions of ordinary people who refused to go gently into that good night. Hasta la victoria siempre!

Personally, given the number of bad reports after the fix (read bodge) has been carried out (with or without the owners consent) I would leave well alone (since it's not compulsory over here -- yet) and, to be honest, sell it and buy something else that doesn't have this hanging over it. You might be well rid.
Best wishes,
Mike.
