Is that an article or a letter? There is no National Park.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Someone should email them and correct them.

 

[Goring Gull]

Good old british journalism.

Wankers.

I know why i don't buy the Times now cos they talk shit.

 

[Goring Gull]

Hasn't there been talk of a south downs national park? I tak ethough that Falmer wouldn't be in this area anyway even if it did come about?

It was an article in the Times Register

 

[Brixtaan]

Jesus, we're further away than ever.

It,s an article....written with the skill and expertise of a "journalist"....you know.....those people who can be very eloquent, have a reasonable command of English Language, probably a decent education, very good at debating and putting people down.....but continually wear rose-tinted glasses and talk through their bottom....

 

[Dandyman]

It's a Murdoch paper. A news group that can lie about dead Liverpool supporters is going to find it easy to spout crap about the Community Stadium.

 

[Yorkie]

IF it is a direct quote from Neighbour then he is lying.

They won't print a correction-you'd be wasting your time. The opening paragraph gives a clue as to their thinking about the matter.

“New Delay To Falmer” ran the recent dramatic headline in the Brighton Argus newspaper. This referred to the seemingly endless saga over the new stadium for Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, a vast development on the South Downs

A vast development on the South Downs? f***ing wankers

Some of our media savvy folks might be able to find out a bit about Stephen Gardiner including what ties he has with any of the anti-Stadium lobby.

 

[Mr Burns]

And the twin villages of Falmer, already perilously close to extinction, will be blown away.

f***ing Good!!! The best thing that could happen to it.

 

[7:18]

Jesus, we're further away than ever.

sure feels like it

Stephen Gardiner i'm sure he's one of my mates brothers, or he may just have the same name.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

... the twin villages of Falmer ...

That is one of the funniest phrases to come out of the NIMBY camp, ever.

It merely emphasises the fact that they are in total denial of the nature of their community.

I thought it was split down the middle by the thundering superhighway that is the A27. Apparently not. It's two quite separate little villages.

Hmmm....

 

[Tooting Gull]

"Stephen Gardiner, an architect and writer, receives an OBE for services to Community Architecture. Stephen trained at the Architectural Association and went into private practice in 1957. He built primary and secondary schools for the London County Council, play buildings for the handicapped, two residential schemes in Milton Keynes and a nature study centre for deprived children in Epping Forrest. He has written a book on Le Corbusier and he has just completed The House: its Origins and Evolution, to be published in September. He is a regular contributor to The Times."

So, an architect. And not a planning expert. Funny that, sort of comes over in the piece. There must be some personal angle here, this is way out of his usual brief for the Times which is, err, architecture.

The bit I like is "Hand the Falmer site to the football club and this will be the outcome: roaring football crowds ...."

No it won't be. We're quiet as mice. Just come to Withdean any Saturday when we're at home and you'll see.

I'm sure there is. How else could he have the balls to print such crap?

A roof will make a hell of a difference.
