PLEASE SEE ADMIN MESSAGE BELOW - apologies if the comment above causes offence to anyone.

Sheena, I think we have to be a little careful with the things we say in the forum, emotions and feelings can run high on some sensitive issues, but we all have to bear in mind what we say and how others perceive this.

Wishing that people die or become disabled is not what we encourage here. This could be deemed very offensive to some people. Please be careful with your comments in future to avoid offending anyone here.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Any queries or concerns regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact Admin. We are always only too happy to help in any way we can.

Best wishes.

I hope all the people who work for ATOS also become disabled then perhaps they will see where we are coming from.

I had heard about this and thought it was disgusting. But I would not wish them dead Sheena, just dealt with properley for doing this. I would never wish anyone dead xxxxx

That is quite outrageous and I hope the Atos ppl learn a good lesson in proper evacuation technique for the future!
