The oft-quoted point that the shop is not open during the week.
It is online, though.
Ah, I hadn't seen any of that. But was on website earlier. Thanks.

Right.
Tell us which of the delays could have been avoided if the football club had done something different.
If you can't produce a list, identify just ONE delay that could have been avoided by the Club doing something different.
Out of interest, something I have often wondered is this; had the architects comissioned to draw up the stadium plans not put part of the coach park over the boundary between Brighton & Lewes, would Lewes DC still have been able to challenge the development? Water under the bridge and all that, but just curious.

In planning terms, LDC's challenge was always based on a policy position that was intended to resist major development in the AONB, irrespective of whether it was their side of the boundary or not. The actual location of the coach park wasn't relevant to their case. And they never claimed it was.
Their challenge was ill-founded because they were misinterpreting national planning policy which DOES permit development in an AONB if certain criteria are met.
LDC also had a political agenda. They don't like football. And they don't like Brighton & Hove City Council.

It's obvious. If the Albion had paid a Gazillion Dollars to the LDC to fund naked mud wrestling at the corn exchange for their own private enjoyment, they wouldn't have objected.
I blame Martin Perry for not seeing this.
Duh!

No f***ing wonder given what a **** you are to a large portion of your potential customer base.

Which large portion is that? You and bhanutz? That's TWO.
So your counting is worse than your reasoning. And your sense of reasoning is f***ed.
Apparantly not. Mummy wants to use the webcam again.

Sorry I have a life that doesn't revolve around this board!
Yeah I'll answer.....we were pushed around by a Parish Council!!! Of course the delays were avoidable but as I've stated elsewhere it's not in Martin Perry or his team interest to get them sorted quickly is it!! I'm sure his pension fund is looking very handsome now!

Well given that you've gone pop already I'd suggest that's two more customers than you can afford to lose!
But you haven't answered. You haven't said how the delays were avoidable. All you are doing is insinuating that they could have been avoidable. That isn't an answer.

My mother is in Jamaica plus she is not very tech savy, why would she want to use my webcam?

Who asked you for your opinion..............oh NOBODY but you felt necessary to give it anyway!
Read it again, what part haven't I answered? You think any organisation with any clout what so ever would have been pushed around by Maud and Mable's knitting circle?
Why do I get the feeling I'm going round in circles??

:thud:
Is that it?
Good grief. Did you not notice that the parish council was supported by a district council, a publicly funded quango and a whole host of professional lobbyists?
If you can point us to the bit of planning law that says a developer can go ahead with building a major project regardless of the fact that planning permission hasn't been granted, we'd all be enlightened.

Perhaps it's because you never answer a question.
