Of course those in contact with me via PRIVATE EMAILS, instead of using urg
as their communication domain, will know all about it, but those who have
killfiled me, (well they haven't really have they? They don't wish to miss
my words of wisdom otherwise they would have started their own forum and
kept me out ;-)) will be interested in
http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/bota...ght-40860.aspx

Well they will peep but not admit because it is posted by me :-))

Even worse if I had gone via gardenbanter :-)))))

Those who have used Shanklin Manor Mews http://www.shanklinmanormews.co.uk/
for their stay on the Island will have been notified, but for all other
readers of urg and gardenbanter, my daughter and son in law have SOLD all of
the mews houses and the business. The 10% discount for mentioning urg or
gardenbanter cannot be guaranteed for anyone now booking the Mews via the
new owners. The present web site is out of date and will be modified/altered
as soon as possible.

I don't see his name there.

4x£500,000 does not equal £33 million. No mention of who pays for the
acquiring of new books.

Every volunteer does somebody out of their job. Would you like a
volunteer to take over your job? Maybe volunteers should take over
some of the overpaid council management jobs?

Martin you won't see my name there because I have not been involved with the
Libraries, I have however been, and still am, involved with "The Friends of
Shanklin Theatre" http://www.friendsofshanklintheatre.org.uk/ and Shanklin
Theatre itself http://www.shanklintheatre.com/default.aspx

With regards to your comment of volunteers doing somebody out of a job, in
the case of Shanklin Theatre, it has worked the other way round. The Isle of
Wight Council gave intention that they were to close Shanklin Theatre and
make 7 people redundant. And they did. But before the final day, Shanklin
Town Council and "The Friends" got together and arranged to take the Theatre
over and run it. One full time and one part time job were saved. One of the
volunteers, having been made redundant from a shop manager position and had
time on his hands, spent many hours there and was eventually taken on full
time. Another volunteer has also been taken on full time.

Just thought I would put a few things straight :-))

If what I have been advised is wrong, is there any reason for you not
helping with IOW libraries? After all the library service on the IOW
is of far more benefit to residents than Shanklin theatre, and surely
deserves your support for this reason?

"""If what I have been advised is wrong"""

Most of the things you make up are wrong, so why suddenly admit it?

Because you have at long last realised that I am right?

Well done.

Pity others on this newsgroup/forum don't realise that and continue to be
led by the bias of some people.
