...........well I hope it is finished off properly, although if Burnside Sq car park is anything to go by, I dont rate their track record much! Time will tell.

One thing in life I really love is a critic who cannot spell properly that which he or she is offering a criticism about. A perfect example of this is our buddy" the bad hair day"
Using words like "taring" and "prominade" certainly don't encourage me to take his/her comments seriously.

Perhaps enlightening us on the problems in Burnside Square would win back some lost credibility, but I doubt it.
Would the fact that motorists continually knock over the bollards and park in an incosiderate manner be one of the gripes?

I was going to be less moderate than I have been with my reply to "hairday" but the comment by Margaret Atwood came into my head "An eye for an eye can only lead to blindness" That of course would be a good enough reason for always having a bad hair day, but would you wish it on anyone?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks for pointing that out Gizmo, I see I'm not the only one who makes the odd spelling error, isn't that right Pete? :lol: :lol: As for Burnside Sq car park - it was never finished off properly. I'm not in here to have an argument, just view my oppinion. I wont bother in the future until I have my dictionary at hand. :roll:

I think the path is open now, was down that way yesterday and the signs are down.

But only thing it is quite a bit narrower than the old one. For passing traffice like myself with a buggy not sure how wide it's going to be. But looks quite nice, bit of a smoother run than before!
