QUOTE (Bofem @ Nov 9 2010, 11:56 AM)  Hey User. Do you still rent out your house in Park Terrace? Maybe you are in a better position to update us all. I've never owned a house in Park Terrance.In times gone by having one's own stalker was a sign one had made it in life. The stalker had to put time and effort into being a weirdo, going through bins, hiding outside the house of who they were obsessed with, and so on. Nowadays all it takes for the lonely to attempt to become a stalker is few chinese whispers and a keyboard and they're away. The Internet has so devalued the art of stalking.

QUOTE (David Allen @ Nov 8 2010, 10:56 PM) Anything to oblige. The water pumping cannot simply be shut off; it needs to be gradually shut-down in an orderly fashion. Althought I agree the conflicting news and reports are a bit frustrating. I've asked for an update from Costain tomorrow (9/11) and I'll post any reply I get. Regards If they do shut it off completely will the new underground car park become a new boating Lake?  -------------------- Vexatious Candidate?

QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ Nov 9 2010, 01:11 PM) Why is the survey delayed? Perhaps the person collecting the data pressed the delete key by accident. QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Nov 9 2010, 06:58 PM) Can I ask what you are going on about now? There are rumours as to who user23 is and this is probably propagated by people using the Internet, as opposed to snooping around refuse bins for clues about ID. I personally don't like people who would rather remain anonymous being 'outed' on forums. It smacks of vigilantism. |

Don't believe it should make any difference who he is or what he does for a living, whether self employed or employed, he is still entitled to his opinions if you disagree with him certainly tell him but he should not be stopped from expressing his opinions.

Up until a few years ago there were pumps under some of the shops in Northbrook Street that were running 24 hours a day if they ever stopped the shops flooded. Somewhere near Smiths cant remember what shops exactly? Not sure if this is still the case though? Victoria Park was always known to my Grandparents as the Marsh as it was always flooded apparently and has always been known to have a very high water table. -------------------- Vexatious Candidate?

Look on any old map of the town and it is shown as marsh. Even now the northern end by the A339 turns to mud after rain.
I think there is one culverted stream under the football pitches, and another came under Marsh Lane (clue!) which is almost opposite Smiths.... |

So as I stated in a previous post underground car park = indoor boating lake if pumps turned off then? -------------------- Vexatious Candidate?
