Chinahand Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Oh lets just keep them wasting their time with irrelevences - that way they can't F-up anything else. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Is there any law stopping Clarkson from digging a large pit or planting landmines should he be forced to reopen the path. I hope not. If so perhaps a tiger sanctuary would be good there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemonster2005 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I wish the island would tell Clarkson to find a home elsewhere. Miserable rich householders like him shouldn't be welcome on a island like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumble Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Easy for you to say in Slovenia. Here in the real world we respect people's legal land ownership and rights to privacy. When Dick Hodge and his PROWL buddies open THEIR high gates and gardens to 'ramblers' I'll maybe have more sympathy for their cause. Your post says more about you than about the issue.

oldmanxfella Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm going to track down each member of PROWL and exercise my right to ramble naked around their garden, nose through their curtains while they're having tea, and crap on their lawns.

homarus Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 An enquiry headed by the D.O.T.,I suppose it makes sense ?. It shouldn't take them long to come up with the ideal solution to suit both parties!. 'Traffic lights Jeremy, traffic lights' that's what we need ! 20ds up from the Kitchen and 20yds down ,just flick the switch when you've finished your cornflakes and the lights turn from red to green . Youll never be seen , the prowlers dogs get to shit on your land and we get to install another set of traffic lights . Everyones a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeky boy Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It would certainly give PROWL members a better case if they opened their gardens to ramblers I would love let my dog shit on their property whilst having a skeet through their kitchen window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The BBC piece says it is not a public right of way but a permissive ROW. What does that mean? I am guessing it is permissive (i.e. permitted) by the landowner, being so he could withdraw that permission. But surely any advocate worth his salt could define the term without an expensive inquiry? At the risk of being labelled a celeb arse licker, I would back JC, for all the reasons I have posted elsewhere (the amount of free, good quality publicity he gives the island) and for the simple fact that he owns the land which does not, from all reports, have a public right of way over it. Rather than an inquiry, why doesn't Govt honour the time-worn custom of going to consultation? /That was tongue in cheek BTW./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
