That phrase (whether TW said it or not) has been plastered around the county and put on promotional materials for everything from the tourist board to international sporting events in and around the Manchester area...maybe the banners that appear inside the aquatics centre and areas of the Etihad campus and nearby velodrome should be pulled down for accuracies sake, somehow though I don't see that happening.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026931020113901282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30827235.post-30076796644324990852023-04-28T11:20:20.051+00:002023-04-28T11:20:20.051+00:00really nice article. really nice article.

Ted lived next door to me when I was in my late teens and we hit it off because of my love for the game. At the time he was starting a league up in the azures and so he was back and forth travelling between Portugal and sunny Leeds. I remember Ted as a lovely kind man, I’d just past my driving test and he gave my dad the keys to his car while he was away so I could use my dads. kevinjmoore3@me.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30827235.post-75973444172670827072022-09-17T10:39:55.349+00:002022-09-17T10:39:55.349+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Shenzhen Leed Electronic Co.

I remember a band called Smith,Perkins and Smith, who backed Free - I bought their LP the next day at Ear-ere! Also saw CCS backing up the Groundhogs, and heard their version of Whole Lotta Love :) My introduction to Queen was when they supported Mot the Hoople!!

That should give a journey time between Rose Hill and Stockport of about 21 minutes. The long route via Guide Bridge is too roundabout and would probably take longer than 30 minutes.

Privately owned estates are usually closed (the key is in the name). Therefore, the upkeep of the private estate is the responsibility of the estate owner. The Rous family operate a hybrid model whereby the profit is privatised and the costs are democratised. Some would argue that this is entirely OK, enterprising even. However, when the owner relies upon deception to trick people into paying for access via a public road, that is entirely different and many would consider this not just immoral but illegal too. When a low income family visit save for a holiday, enter a scenic village and are tricked into parting with £28 just to gain access, this really isn't OK. People should be given the correct information to make an informed choice, not deceived into accessing a public street maintained by the taxpayer (i.e. the visitor).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30827235.post-56794925460951405822022-05-25T18:09:21.266+00:002022-05-25T18:09:21.266+00:00John Rous sold the cobbled streets to South West W...John Rous sold the cobbled streets to South West Water after the flooding occurred in October 2012, this was because he didn't want to pay to repair the sewers under the street that were flood damaged and required a sizeable investment. Therefore, all bill paying residents in the South West Water district footed the bill for the repairs, i.e. the public. John continues to charge the very same public for access to those streets. There is public rights of way into Clovelly around the visitors centre, down the road marked 'No Entrance'. John Rous has placed a sign on his private land next to the public road and therefore misleads visitors and profits from their ignorance. No unsuspecting visitor would know any of this and simply turn up and are charged. The 'No Entrance' sign is designed to misdirect visitors for financial gain. The car park is indeed privately owned but one can legally park on the approach road which is council owned, as long as one obeys parking regulations and avoids yellow lines. There is also a public right of way down the backroad (past the 'No Entrance' sign) into Clovelly to the Harbour at the bottom. This is why the council need to grant a permit to block this route for safety purposes when there is a festival. If it was indeed privately owned, the council wouldn't be required to grant permission. In summary, John Rous and the Clovelly Estate Company pray on the ignorance of visitors to make profit whilst claiming the costs are for the upkeep of the village. Anybody visiting the village can clearly see that very little is spent on the upkeep. Just ask the residents if their houses suffer from damp and are unfit for purpose, if carpets are threadbare and full of cat excrement when moving in, or if their deposits are returned when they leave the property in the same sorry state as when they arrived. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions as to his conduct and moral standards, I am simply presenting the facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30827235.post-84905231475350928862022-03-01T23:10:28.554+00:002022-03-01T23:10:28.554+00:00Funny as I always associate "Marple Leaf"...Funny as I always associate "Marple Leaf" with you Michael with no geographical link.
