Methinks the other forum is hi-jacking our topics.
The removal of the taxi ranks and Santa's Grotto appear to be todays losses, thanks to Richard Garvie and Andy Capp.
They seem a bit slow on the uptake over there and unable to understand how you can steal £1 from another persons trolley using an empty trolley. Perhaps we can explain that on this forum? |

Surely we shouldn't be explaining criminal techniques? |

The other forum appears to be unavailable. Does this mean that there has been a posting which needs editing by WBC? |

I think it's good that they're being taken to a wider audience. |

By taking issues from here to the other forum and vice versa, it takes the topics to a wider audience. |

Different audience, as the other forum has a much larger and wider range of regular posters. |

Sadly 'The Other Forum' is heavily censored. I was booted off merely for suggesting that Corporal Jones, our beloved council leader, was a jumped-up chemist's shop owner who, like all other owners of chemists shops, sponges off the NHS and has no experience whatsoever which is relevant to running a council.
Newbury.net still rules supreme so far as Google is concerned - see attached - so User's views are, as usual, totally irrelevant.

A little defamatory so probably not surprising. |

That was a slightly ironic 'merely' of course. But you can't deny he's a sponger - not only gets all those NHS fees from the taxpayer but also grabs a large slice of the £600K he and his mates cost us. Even User seems good value for money in comparison. |

Well if you push it to the title of the publication it is not surprising (nor is you trying to promote a publication that likes to bow to WBC and limit it's critisisn). Type any main Newbury subject - and this site will be higher on the list in the majority of cases. |

Interestingly Mr B's shopping site still rules supreme whichever way you Google Newbury and Shops. A serious #fail for Parkway and whoever at WBC is supposed to be promoting our new shopping Nirvana. I suppose some of the dimmer NWN staff may have thought that me describing Mr Jones as a 'jumped up chemist's shops owner' was libellous. Is it rude? If you haven't done so already, drop in to watch him chairing a council meeting and make your own mind up. The post that resulted in my expulsion raised the still unanswered point about whether merging councils and cutting the £600K councillors cost us per year has been looked at. |

Calm down Agent Mulder, perhaps as a serious news organisation they like to limit their criticism to the facts? I tried "Newbury News", let me Google something else for you http://lmgtfy.com/?q=newbury+politics |

Thanks Noobree.

I would think that as that was probably the Newbury Diesel Company then his posting would have been welcome in the "Memories of Newbury" section where anything of Newbury's history would have been welcome but anecdotes about the Everard Shipping company and the boat he was restoring have limited interest to most of the Newbury.net posters/readers. |

Should it be a reason for banning someone though? |

Sure, but postings that have no real relevance to Newbury either today or yesteryears, as I said, just get in the way of our threads on parking, traffic gridlock and the undiscernable ramifications of the SLI/WBC deals. If it is of local historical significance then post in memories and we'll all be happy as it will add to our treasure chest of local knowledge bearing in mind that we have, for the time being, been abandoned by our museum but that's another thread. |

So far as I recall, and I really can't be bothered to check, I believe I suggested that the bore in question should be given his own section of the forum rather than banned. I believe it was when he started regaling us with stories about taking his nephew to lunch that I began to think that he was mainly interested in talking about himself (which, surely, is the defining characteristic bores?) that I'd decided I'd had enough. That and the endless twattering about his boat. How do you define bores, Hex? |

Pax Noobree.
I don't remember the Nephew and lunch. The boat was fairly interesting. The interest in Everards engines
might have had a familial genealogical interest.
Nice youtube link. And I thought I knew every country/rock/folksinger.
Shame about the Kennet and Avon being emptied, sometimes the locks are quite hard to get through.
Although that stretch should have been straightforward,so to speak.
I have a snap of the bridge over the canal.But the one posted a while ago is better.

What?! No mention of the Implements of Death? Have the bollards and the mayhem they cause dropped from public consciousness so much....? Can someone arrange for another ramming to take place please.......
........nor is you trying to promote a publication that likes to bow to WBC and limit it's critisisn).....
OK... I've just found some bollards... You're talking 'bollards'. If you think the NWN likes to bow to WBC and limits bad comment then you must be reading a different paper from me... (mind you I haven't bought a copy since the latest price hike) |

As there are now no longer buses or taxis in the pedestrian area when the bollards are up, it is now unlikely that we will ever get another bollard strike. Unless they are following a post office vehicle, or emergency services vehicle. GM61 |

I wouldn't bet on that, you'll probably lose! After all, the accidents can only happen when the bollards are in use, restricting access.  |
