Being "Enlightend" is tough....

Do you think The Good Life could be remade, with me or Dave playing Tom Good (maybe not!)? If you have seen something on TV or heard something on the radio recently that you want to talk about, tell us here.

My family (and in some ways even my partner) all think Im a tree hugging hippie and sometimes it gets me down that no matter how I explain it they just dont get "it".

What have you done or said to help people understand your lifestyle choice? :flower:
I've battled the rest of society for most of my life. What do I say when people question it? **** off!

You see, I always agree with what you say

Even I dont do that..

I wasnt saying you shouldn't practice what you preach.I mean, that would be like the Labour Party toadying up to The City (as if...)

It's just that in the 10 minutes it takes me to pull the little plastic window out of the envelope the latest final demand arrived in,so I can put it in the correct recycling bin, and avoid prosecution, the bloody Chinese have opened six more coal-fired power stations.
