  Oh don't worry Andrew I know you were not personally accusing me of all that at all. No problems there it's all just the cut and thrust of debate and all that.
  Howard I don't think it's fair to criticise those who point to the shortcomings of the local buildings which are in need of demolition. After all if, and that's an enormous if, an planner is finally employed to transform the town be sure that first in his or sights will be the eyesores that we have to live with day in day out. To point out how ugly they are by so many people must say something surely?
  Those, like myself, who pass comment on the state of the town are always accused of grumpy old cynics. Whenever something like the giant telly is introduced and they criticise that things get even worse. They are then accused of being anti-progress. Nothing could be further from the truth.
  Virtually every single person I know hates various aspects of the town which have been talked about extensively on this forum. They point to the lack of vision and the do-nothing attitude from those in a position to do something.
  Whenever they talk to me about the telly all they do is scorn those whose idea it was to install it.
  The telly has no redeeming features about it.
  It is a blight on the town. That is not being anti-progress at all. In fact it is the exact opposite.
  How you can think it's good for the town is quite beyond me.
