True, well we will agree to disagree on this!
But he still got away with the shouting thing

In one post I said block capitals are the internet way of shouting - which it is.

im sure you would change your mind if you met me, im also very sure that if i had an hidden agenda i wouldnt be so obliging.!!!

in life i always see the best in people, my great father taught me that!!!
and treat those people the way you would like to be treated!! great values i still have!!
i havent changed any of this even though i now live in a nice home and drive a nice car, please dont stereotype me, as im.. the same humble man as when i worked in a factory as a framemaker in the furniture industry!!!

And by the way how come he gets away with capitals and i didnt?
maybe i get away with it as i dont thread spurious claims, and make stupid remarks.
i think you need to rewind your threads and although you havent used my words, you will find similar ones, that are far worse in their claims..
the shonky fence will be reduced in height next wk, as i agreed with your remark.rob.

Re: Spire farm development

There is nothing spurious or stupid to me in my opinions,as we are all allowed to have our own ideas and thoughts one mans meat is anothers poison.The outcome will be obvious with time and i hope to be proved wrong and if i am so be it all power to your elbow Mr foy as i said time will tell,i will look forward to seeing and hearing on accy web to the outcome of the development and will keep walking and looking at what goes on around the Spire.I hope you live up to your promises, if you do then it can only benefit a Accrington landmark which should be treated with respect and care by whoever owns it, and kept in a state which benefits the walkers, horse riders, and responsible dog owners who have enjoyed the area for many many years before and hopefully long after myself and Mr Foy are just a distant memory.

you will see the huge eyesore at the back ie the barn removed and put were the sand paddock/manege is, just so you know the conservationists class the front of the house at the other side to the one you walk past, if you did call in you would see so much as changed on that elevation, ie ive opened up all the arched windows, and doors, and the huge arched window as been replaced with an hardwood one, the barn will be removed by july 2011 and the tempory wooden barns will be down by then, the bungalow as also been upgraded im sure you have noticed this?...

Re: Spire farm development

the stone masons will be very busy next year as the front as been hammered by the winds over the years, and the staircase to the top of the tower needs to be a more traditional one,and the galleries need to be redesigned, all the oil tanks will be moved away from the house/houses into their own area at the top of the old lane... and lots more to do. so as you say i hope you keep to your promise,well heres a few more that i will adhere to.Rob:-)

As for the wall it was knocked down by excavators on his land so were they not in his employ?The stream that leads nowhere is an interesting one where does Mr Foy think it goes after that ,is there some kind of cavernous underground lake beneath Accrington that nobody KNOWS about? Having said all that improvement of any area or house must be applauded when gone about the right way he still has time to redeem all and prove some of us wrong ! But i am not holding my breath!

saying the guy don't live there, n then refusing to go talk wi him, has very little to do wi building trade experience, knowing neither of em meself, gives the impression to me who is right. cos to me nowt can be resolved without discussion by the parties.
