I refer you to my very first post on this thread -

"Another issue with them is that there is a chunky ongoing maintenance cost so if we were to donate one we would have to factor in this cost as well or agree that we would not be responsible for it."

I have read your first post. You have created a problem which is not there.

If they were offered a defibrillator they are under no obligation to take it. Although I suspect that being of sound minds they would. I fail to see the problem with saying we can donate but can't be responsible for the running costs.

Once again if I were to build a school in the Congo but could not supply the teachers would the good of the building be negated? Or is that too preposterous a question to be worthy of your good self?

By the way if anybody would like to buy me a new car but isn't willing to pay all my running costs I would still be very grateful.

Now of course in Yorkshire it seems that the recipients also expected the running costs to be covered. Well there are only those two well known Yorkshire expressions.

See all, hear all, say nowt. Eat all, sup all pay nowt. And of course Yorkshire born, Yorkshire bred, strong int' arm, thick in head.

As I said, what is it about Yorkshire?

As I mentioned earlier, there need not be an ongoing chunky maintenance cost. Get your local hospital involved or go private. Simples.

Thankfully, I haven't seen any national news story yet about a community defibrillator not working when it was needed because there had been no maintenance on it. I suspect that it may happen. My understanding is that the National authorities are trying to build up a database of where the Community AED's are located. If holders want to avoid future litigation I suggest that they cooperate and ensure that the device is serviced. Think of it like an MOT.

On most AED's there is a daily automatic internal self test regime anyway. In summary, there is an issue (not a problem) and there is an easy solution.

By the way I wrote this before you replied. Not that your reply was predictable or anything.

Why do the Irish have potatoes and the Saudis have oil?

You are entitled to your opinion. Whether the rest of the world actually agrees with you is something I doubt.

I remember an FA Cup qualifying round match at Swindon Supermarine I think about sixteen years s ago. A little bit of leg pulling banter got out of hand when some County supporters became foul mouthed racist yobs.

I was embarrassed then by county supporters, I am embarrassed now.

I think you are suffering from a sense of humour failure, most Irish people I have met laugh at their comedy stereotype and play along with it as do Yorkshiremen.
I guess you don't like the sheep songs some of our supporters sing either?

When you equate people as pig shit you cross a line.

I don't like the sheep song, or the other side of the bridge song. However you can make an argument that it's banter. The racist two one to the Taliban at Luton, the homophobic we can see you holding hands at Brighton clearly fall into the offensive. As does I'd rather be a (pejorative racial slur) than a Taff. Once on terracing at Huddersfield a chant of Aberfan repeated over and over again was disgusting also.

As I said I don't know if you are a racist, I don't know if you are an idiot. I do know you are a fool. I know this sounds trite but I pity you.

You are looking foolish now
Fake indignation in my view
