Quoted from neal
with regards to the pub i wish people would get there facts rite before writing. spell my name rite would be a start ! and with regards to the wall it is still there and if you had been in the pub over the last 6 months you would know that the wall from the old kitchen is still there. as a company we have tried to keep this old pub as original as possible no major changes have taken place. NEAL


I'm afraid this is an issue you can never change Neal.  Everyone believes they know the facts and when someone, who does know the facts, puts them right they don't believe you and carry on thinking they are right. You can never win!

The interior changes are beyond my ken (though Threep seemed convinced ..), however, it is a fact that works were carried on to the outside of the pub before the necessary planning consents had been granted. Why?

I don't really blame the owners, I'd probably do it myself given the same circumstances. Its the system that allows retrospective planning applications that should be abolished.

To be fair to Threep, he was only quoting what the manager had allegedly said at the time.

You seem to have changed your story between talking to my colleagues and I outside on the pavement (over 6 months ago) and now. What's happened? The Irish contingent got to you? Or were you also fibbing about your backers being Irish?

Why should I believe anything you say now or in the future.

Like most chat forums, this place is always heavy on the opinion, light on the facts.

The recent thread about Victoria Park has shown this with a few vocal out-of-towners up in arms over plans they haven't seen yet for a park they never use.

I wouldn't worry, it's not like anyone takes what's posted on here seriously. I include what I post in this statement of course.

Does this surprise you?

A lot of people who care about the development of a park, compared to townies, who seem only to care for there to be more and more things built on green spaces.

Exactly, so why get so wound-up about  what are only opinions, misguided or not.  Not that there has been any evidence that you are expressing opinions that themselves are not prejudiced.

I wonder what you meant until I read on -

Then I saw it - you were referring to your own posts.

So true (especially the latter point).

To re-cap...

Quoted from Threepwood @ June 24, 2009, 3:59pm
Not by a long chalk...  Lunchtime today, upon seeing a double sink unit, huge cooker hood, the manager and a piano standing on the pavement.......(and pretty much verbaitum)

" Hi Neil.....moving out then?"
" No, knocking two walls down to fit me new kitchen in.."
"ah..that explains the old sinks 'n' stuff then.."
"lot of it no good, chef always griping"
"your permission come through then?"
"eh?"
"from the council..all that building regs good stuff...you know, permission to remove interior walls..same as with the sign......came through at last did it?"
"f*** you and f*** them..."

Nice...

Come on WBC....you have a duty of care here...it's being irrevocably changed inside, and changed without permission outside. Why not sit back and do nothing? oh yeah, you're already doing that, which would mean only one of two things....WBC are either incompetent (and unable to look after our heritage properly) or someone somewhere has been bribed by Enterprise Inns. Which is it?  Threep.
Quoted from Threepwood @ June 26, 2009, 8:13pm
The wall that divided the kitchen from the main passage-way has gone. (Vanished, Disappeared, Ceased to be) I went there today and Neil showed me where it used to be.  Tell WBC that Specsavers are having a 2 for 1 sale... Threep.  Oh, and they've also nailed a black 'ash-tray' onto the frontage....or did WBC miss that as well?


Perhaps Neal cacked himself and put the wall back, or lost his bottle and didn't take the wall down... or Threep made it all up!
