Quoted from Greenham Common

Would you elucidate? How is 'it' 16th century and how is 20th century better?

You said that wanting new shops & new places to eat & drink was very '20th century'.  Not wanting progress & keeping things as they were - seems old fashioned.

What is progress about more of the same?  More traffic and more shops, eh?  For me, progress would be to have a local A&E, and a local maternity unit.  To me, progress for Newbury was having traffic taken away from the town (including the pedestrianisation project), having the Common given back for public use, the canal restoration.  That is progress.  Not more flamin shops (on public land sold for a £1.00) and more flamin traffic!!!

So H&M are coming to Newbury, whoopee boolacks!  Well it gives the women something to do on a Saturday I suppose!

btw - why have you become Iommi in the post you were quoting?

A typing error, I mixed up my quoting from another site, I've corrected it now
