Yep full of information 

[Gottfrid]

So, minor injuries. The staffer will pay for hospital treatment , but probably not needed. The tourist do not want to take any legal action against the staffer. I totally fail to see the news in this incident.

No class is just no class. 

 

I often ask myself this question:

Would my parents and grandparents appreciate me behaving in a certain way?

If the answer is a no I refrain from doing what I mighty be thinking of doing.

 

This simple mantra has made my life far more pleasant, sociable and serene.

I wonder if she was overcharged? Perhaps deliberately so.

Somewhere nothing much happen.!!

Nah, I will not do that, and have no urge to decide that. However, despite your irritation, I will continue to voice my opinion in this forum.
