This Morning 1536I agree we all should be allowed to make our own decisions, and its great that Adrian's friends can argue the toss. If he...
I've tried to do that as fairly as I can, using quotes from the original posting. Please do poit out where you think I've gone wrong - I ave no axe to gring here and don't wan't to misinterpret either side of the encounter.
