Nothing to do with stickers but still on the subject of paranoia. Some bloke knocked on my door the other day asking if I wanted to buy some fish. Yeah fish. A door to door fish salesman? Anyway, a) I tend to buy fish from a monger of fish or a supermarket. b) I was on my way out to work and didn't want to enter into a conersation about fish. As I happened to be on my way out of the door I virtually followed him up the road I noticed the chap was on foot and I could see no van that belonged to him. I wondered if he kept this fish in a car or whether he would pull some haddock or other piscian delight from out of his trousers.


Another ner-do-well sizing up my gaff or a genuine although not very well prepared fish salesman?

    • There seem to all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that is was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging tneir plans to increase the site footprint. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way. 
    • There is now reseach emerging into the impact of festivals on nesting birds and I will be collating that for the consultations this time round. That research is showing that walls of suddenly imposed sound can send birds away never to return to their nests. Some species are affected more than others. Starlings are particularly sensitive.
