An apology - Miller

I wish to apologise to anyone I may have offended with regards to my 'Vauxhall Adverts' post. I realise there are plenty of you out there who can afford and take pleasure in driving a brand new car. I suppose if I was rich enough to buy new I would be tempted, but I'm poor! (but not bitter and twisted about it you understand...) ;-)

Re: An apology reiterated - David Withers

I think I was the most vociferous respondent to your posting and, as such, I would like to thank you for being so generous in your apology. You have my sincere respect.

I guessed, soon after I sent my response, that your criticism of new car buyers was not meant to be as strong as it appeared in print. This is the trouble with e-mails -- they can be read with different emphasis to that intended.

I apologise in turn for being so hard on you!

David.
