To be fair to R H Foy it wasnt him who was partaking in a bit of clandestine herb cultivation but that WAS his house which is now in the care of the receivers i believe.
Town Centre Changes

Well the true version would be:
a) I'm not a multi-millionaire. The only way I could be considered one is if you included the value of my company which is entirely subjective. There's a massive difference between being cash rich and asset rich. The former being actually useful. I understand it makes for an attention grabbing headline.
b) If I actually become wealthy then I would be interested in the building directly opposite the Market Hall. Quality stone building, currently about 5 run down or empty shops and large amounts of empty space above that noone wants to rent in its current form. That building would I think convert nicely into residential. A big project, but the property has not yet gone the way of the Conservative Club. In time it will if noone takes it on.
To post 857 I wont be going tits up because I take no risks in doing this, and own the deeds to all the properties. Worst case I sell up, leave the town with modernised buildings that are occupied by people not pigeons. Local tradesmen did well from it during the recession. It's a pity they didn't get a mention in the Observer article - for quality, fair pricing and trust (invaluable when living abroad as I do).

Maybe you should ask the Observer to print these facts, in the interests of fairness to you.
Change of topic! I must confess I do not bother to read the Planning Applications, but someone suggested I do, with regard to the Arndale. And yes ... ANOTHER coffee shop on its way, if permission is given to go ahead with these plans. We are talking the area in the Arndale from the Travel Agents down to Union Street.

Well it is the New Accrington Observer after all
Well it's deffo' not the News Accrington Observer John
Always remembering Atara that those responsible for town centre renewal don't live here anyway.
I wouldn't think opprobrium from a flat track bully like yourself would cause any sleepless nights in Singapore Less.

Doesn't this post count as a personal insult, and as such is against the rules of the forum?
Not that I think it would worry Less one jot....he won't lose any sleep over any names you call him.
There was a guy in what used to be Bon Marche on Friday......it looked like he was measuring up. I wondered what it was going to be.
I'm not sure that a coffee shop is what is needed...the one that recently opened on Broadway...Mr Bean, doesn't seem to be doing much.
How many Coffee shops can a place like Accy support? It seems the present glut is way too much. Now, if it was a Dutch styled Coffee shop that'd be something to set sparks flying!
Ya Dave it would be spiffingHow many Coffee shops can a place like Accy support? It seems the present glut is way too much. Now, if it was a Dutch styled Coffee shop that'd be something to set sparks flying!
Aaargh! Nice try, but don't give up the day job Jay!
Would that be considered as to spliff the infinitive?

Why pay overheads for a cafe, they do it on the streets for free here

Ah, but that's not the "Continental Culture", little Englanders with no style & panache.

What has to be considered Margaret is to whom is it an insult?
Yes of course he was having a dig at me, however I could consider it a back handed compliment, after all, what is a 'flat track bully'?
From what I understand it is someone that is good at beating mediocre opponents but will never be good enough to beat the elite.
This poses two questions;_
1/ Who does he consider to be my mediocre opponents?
2/ Who does he consider to be the elite?
In answer to question 1/ obviously he is attempting to insult the members of this site, that is of course with the exception for himself he considers himself and perhaps (though doubtful), a few others to be the elite of 2/, even the member from Singapore is probably considered to be of lower intellect than he!
He attempts to impress/show off what he considers his extensive vocabulary by using words such as:-
opprobrium
Now this, actually just shows him up, because if he really wanted to get a point across he would use plain English, but he has to feed his inflated ego somehow, so this is how he does it.
The man is full of nothing but bluster or as cashy would say, 'urine and wind', (yes cashy I know you wouldn't say urine but the swear checker got in the way).
Shame he feels an urgent need to put everyone in their place, some points he gets right but in most of his posts he just attempts to deride anyone else's opinions.
I bear him no personal animosity indeed in some ways I feel sorry for him, if he tried less to be superior, his intellect would actually shine through.
So, I no doubt have opened that can of worms once more, the one from when he first joined us and used to follow me from post to post thinking his insults and put downs really did bother me. I hope it doesn't happen I don't need the attention that I used to get from his earlier rantings.

You are spot on Less.
I sometimes think that some people on here have no manners at all...they seem to think that there is one opinion to be had and they will allow us to conform to their views...how kind of them.....should I be grateful for them doing my thinking for me??....NO, most definitely not.
Anyway you have a far more generous spirit than this member.
It is my opinon(for what it is worth) that anyone who has to resort to name calling has lost the argument, and it into point scoring territory as a means to make themselves feel better.

The news story is more accurate:
Accrington entrepreneur sees a future for area (From This Is Lancashire)
Hopefully the press will now get off the case.
