This BB has been going for many years, long before Nik arrived.
People have made long term friendships, learnt information, swapped stories and most importantly talked about County. I'm not sure why you always appear to be trying your best to disagree with others for the majority of the time, just for the sake of it.
Maybe try winding your neck in for a couple of weeks and see if you feel better for it afterwards. Try smiling as you type..... see if that helps
