When I was over in April a similar thing happened in Rishton as a van kept touring round the estate where I was staying at a friends -a number of motorbikes and other things got taken over a weekend and we had written down the number-plate to get it checked out. Don't know if anything came of it though..

I always wonder where they post the leccy bill to, when they've wired their supply from a lamp post.



There was a few doing this, behind the health centre on Blackburn Road, for months.

I'm sure their bills must have been quite hefty.

Probably gets shared out to everyone in town on their next council tax bill...

Helping the minorities yet again

What a shame, O.K. she's part of the plod, but it shouldn't matter if she's a Police Inspector or a Cleaner, something should be done when there is a crime committed and reported.

What I actually said was, "I suggest you mosey on over to another thread", not find another forum.

Thread wanders are part and parcel of Accyweb. In my view, they're one of the factors that adds to Accyweb's appeal as a unique and very individualistic local messageboard. If thread wanders carry on for too long the mods can always be relied on to step in. The thread wander in question only lasted for a few posts anyway before returning to the subject in hand. If threads started by you are so sacrosanct that any thread wander offends you, I suggest that you are going to have a difficult time on Accyweb, because we will certainly not be changing our attitude on thread wanders just to suit you!

Thread wander over. Carry on.

Actually I think ChurchFC was miffed because his posts on this thread were seen as a thread wander from the original topic - they led to some name calling and the posts were deleted so in his eyes the thread wander was not allowed, when he would have liked the topic to be addressed - even though thread wandering as you say is a feature of Accyweb.

Apols if I have got hold of the wrong end of the stick, but that's how I understand it and I'm with ChurchFC all the way on this one.

As Neil has said, if he has any quibbles with the actions of the mods, he should PM them for an explanation.

You are probably right -faster at moving for sure -always one step ahead.

Look how quickly they nip over people's back walls removing stuff.

For sure -but often the response is just too slow...

I might just prepare a nice suprise for them, as the sun's just come out.

A bit of nudey sunbathing.

Except for a sovereign ring, on every available digit.

Hope the sunworshipping was pleasant and that you didn't end up with more white marks -where the rings used to be...:

Agreed.

First rule of never creating trouble for yourself here.

Never use threads to publicly criticise the moderators' work here on Accy Web.

Abide by the rules, and do as they suggest.

If you have a problem with any issue raised, private message them, and they'll do the best they can to help you.

It works.

[Gordon Booth]

A policeman friend was telling me of a year or two ago when a convoy of 'travellers' turned up on his patch. They stopped them at the exit to the motorway and the travellers complained they were going to a field nearby. As they hadn't permission the police said 'Go away' and the travellers said 'No, we'll all just park here blocking the motorway'. So the police let them go, leaving it up to the poor farmer to get them moved.
He commented most of the caravans and cars were stolen and not taxed or insured. When I asked why didn't the police just impound them all he said that would just result in a massive increase in car and caravan theft in the area, so not worth the agro.
Can't win, can we?

Yes, my plan worked devilishly well.

They were sick when they saw me naked in the back yard.

Sadly some poor old bird was similarly sick at the thought of me in the buff.

According to their karma message.

A small price to pay, for a plan well executed.

Fortunely my imagination is less limited - but then, of course -the odd glimpse of the truth does help.
