Dowsing

[Maeght]

Where - in what I have written - have I referred to dowsing or the supporters of dowsing? I am reporting an item in a news broadcast which shows a water company actually seeking and finding a major leak. In other words, a demonstration of current practice. Nothing more, nothing less.

I considered that - as we have had an extensive discussion on the subject - members of this forum may find it interesting.

Agree HH, I didn't see your post in the way that Owlswing saw it.

That is one way of looking at it - my comment is from another way of looking at it - "it" being your post.

You are, of course, entitled to read HH's post in any way you see fit, however I reserve the right to do likewise.

Didn't say you didn't.

I have told you what my posting was intended to say. Are you calling me a liar? If not then kindly rephrase your own posts to reflect that.

A liar - no. Blinklered and/or biased - possibly.

Perhaps you would like to substantiate this allegation? What evidence do you have?

None - I suspect you are using "possibly" as a weasel-word escape route.

There was an item in the BBC Midlands news tonight about a major leak from a broken water main near Tewkesbury. It showed Severn-Trent using a drone to find the leak and included some of the very clear footage recorded by the thermal camera in the drone.

Would you tell me where I make any reference to dowsing in this post? Might it be that you are so sensitive about your own beliefs (about which I am not aware that I have ever made any comment - why should I) that you interpret any objective, value-free, report of a television news story as an attack?

It is by the very absence of the word "dowsi9ng" on a thread with the title "Dowsing" that makes your comments read - this shows that science works now let's see dowsing match this.

Sorry you got so offended, I did not intend to offend, but hey, no-one seems to give a toss when I get offended - I just get told to calm down - can I suggest you do the same.

What peculiar logic. You haven't started to celebrate the Winter Solstice early, have you?

I become highly amused when you get offended and for that , I thank you .
