Always more enjoyable to gently poke fun rather than work up a good head of steam.<br /><br />Gary's comment makes a valid point as it's a natural reaction to react defensively to an aggressive response.<br /><br />I'll see if I can find the letter which earned me an apology and a box of chocolates. It followed a letter from a solicitor chasing money owed to a local veterinarian which had absoloutely nothing to do with me!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-45410569788079753282010-06-08T15:16:32.048+12:002010-06-08T15:16:32.048+12:00Geoff:

I learnt yesterday about a new way of dealing with problems and that is very much like your letter. In Thailand, it is considered wrong to get annoyed. Instead, Thai's keep their cool, almost no matter what the problem. They consider angry people to have lost face. The Thai outlook on life seems so much happier than in the west, so I am going to try it for a while. Your letter serves to confirm this way works. I enjoyed reading it.Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-86273241767872650672010-06-08T14:12:36.837+12:002010-06-08T14:12:36.837+12:00You are quite the word smith.
