Subject: BBC not too happy, re Stockton.

Next boring installment.

Phone call this am, could I talk to a horsey person re Stockton, as she h=
ad
heard I had spoken at Parish meeting on Wed, and was concerned now the 10=

ft gates had gone in she could not reach the catch whilst still mounted o=
n
her steed.  Why had I changed my gates on my lane that I'm opening up....=
=2E.
 Whoa there. Its not my lane etc etc. but valid point.  I said 10 ft gate=
s
were illegal etc and she should ask CC for them to be removed.  Then thin=
gs
started getting better, and I outlined the kamikazi course the parish wer=
e
following in going to the radio / TV where there was damn near conclusive=

proof it was a byway, an 1868 cease to maintain order on the road. =

Next comes a call from Vice Chairman of Parish Council, would I attend a
meeting with him and the Chairman to discuss the lane.

So when I arrived he said he had just cancelled the BBC tv cameras that
were due in 1/2 hour. Oops. I was nearly ambushed.  But her phone call to=

him had made them think (in his words) " were they shooting them selves i=
n
the foot?"

What a disaster that would have been for them, all that publicity getting=

everyone and their Moto X up there.

I turned the meeting round and got them thinking that BOAT might be quite=

useful for their own ends.  He said BBC were not appy chappys at being
cancelled but the publicity of a PI might not be too good, and they were
going to say to Parish they were not opposing it.  It might have been
something in the letter I delivered to them.  =

Still,  all's fair in love and war.

Then went round to see the horsey lady. What an experience. Heard all abo=
ut
the corruption etc etc. Outcome is we are going to explore some other lan=
es
to see if we can get upgrade claims on them.  Might even get me on a hors=
e.

Its good to talk.

Chris

PS if you want letter let me know, but I did say quite a bit.
