Egg card
Hi this my second attempt at my first proper post after spill checkin and losing what I had written. Feel a bit ashamed as I visit the site regularly but have not got involved in the discussion aspects.

Phoned up Egg on Saturday to cancel my card and at the end when asked why, I said that I did not agree with using captive dolphins for entertainment/ advertising. After a long pause I asked if she had found that reason on a drop down menu, her reply was that she had to put it under other but would elaborate and give the reason I stated which would go on record.

I am not after back slapping, nor am I saying that if you keep your egg card you are a nasty person who agrees with captive dolphins but if you do decide to quit egg it will put a little smile on my face.

Some might call me a hypocrite since egg have used other animals in the past and that is fine, I do not wish to dive with guinea pigs.

I'm not too bothered about diving with Dolphins either

I'm just waiting to have my Egg card account closed as I'm one of those who pay off my account monthly, am now thinking about following suit.

Me neither, can't stand the things, horrid grunty creatures with stupid hair. In fact, I go diving purely to avoid them.






Sorry I realise this is a serious issue, but I couldn't help myself. I'll go now.

Thanks for that.
Now I feel stupid, I've seen the ad's and I thought they were CGI.
I thought the guinea pig ad's were CGI, were they not?

I'm with you all the way. Captive dolphin does not taste as nice as wild caught dolphin! Mmmmmm, fluke butties.


Chill. Apoplexy is bad for your karma.

Not yet - I'm diving tonight but as a DM so no camera. However, I'm diving tomorrow night and Saturday morning and I'm determined to take my camera along. I'll keep you informed.

There are lots of things I don't like, far too many to list on here. But Spider Crabs and Guinea Pigs top the list.
