Quoted from 133
What difference does it make who 'we' are?
His claim lacks substance without backing up who he is speaking of when he says "we". The only group he's referred to is the NRA so far.

I'm just asking if this isn't the group who "have been campaigning for this to ease traffic flow since the inception of the pedestrianisation" then who is he talking about because I haven't heard of any such campaign.

It's quite simple really and shouldn't be difficult to answer. Who's he talking about when he says "we"?

"Spiteful pleasure" is a bit of a rude thing to say, it's not like it's an illegal organisation. I'm just trying to establish who he means when he says "we" since he doesn't seem to want to answer the question.

My conclusion was a fairly logical one after he posted this.

"we have been campaigning for this to ease traffic flow since the inception of the pedestrianisation... Many members of the NRA did not want the pedestrianisation in the first place."

All he needs to do is say who he meant by "we" if not the NRA and we can all move on.



"We" (plural) in this case is a collection or a group of people, not nearly all in the NRA I might add, but it included many of them who were/are!  Yes, members of the general public, whatever their status, gender, occupation - if that matters! I stated that "Many members of the NRA.....", which does not preclude others, it does not say "only", nor does it infer I am a member, only you have done that!

YOU are the one who highlighted "we" and put it together with NRA.
I do not have to give YOU an explanation of who I refer to, but I have, so are you happy now!  Whatever next, a list of names?

Now it's your turn to answer, "What am I supposed to have given away?"

I have already stated on TWO occasions that I do not belong to NRA, and you still presume - wrongly!
"What am I supposed to have given away - don't presume anything, as you are usually wrong, as you are this time, on all counts!"

Your the only one who does think your conclusions are logical, most think they are irrational.
(I suppose you want to know who "most" are, now!)  Try reading some of the posts, then you'll know!

Stop inferring and presuming, and stick to facts, then you will not have reason to "infer" or "presume" others are being rude to you!
And by the way, my name is not "he". Manners!

Who is the "I" that is asking this? I infer from your statement that you haven't heard of this campaign that you are an employee of WBC?

The "I" is singular and refers to me, that's fairly obvious.

When one uses a plural in a statement such as "we think this" it's always best to clarify who the "we" is and for whom they claim to speak on behalf of.

Anyway this seems to be way off topic and he's clarified who he was speaking for, so no need to dwell on this any more.

No, I agree. We'll avoid the distraction started a while ago to move away from the main topic. (The "we" is you and me by the way)

And yet you don't seem to have.

So, do you think this is a good idea then, the change to the town centre traffic management?

Quoted from Uncle



WHAT!!! Tell a customer to walk 100 yards round the corner[ in this weather?]...Dont be silly.....a rank is a rank...and first taxi is not gonna do that......believe me,customers are scarce,and your method would make em scarcer !


Is it true that custom is scarce, or is it that we have too many taxi's for the number of fares available?

Common sense may prevail in the end, but 11 - 12 years is a long time to wait!

Well,its a bit of both.....Newbury is going through a phase of progress which is sending customers to other ways of shopping,and spending,while E.U. laws will allow anyone to have a taxi,regardless of the state of the market in the area,,,,,,
