Patronising? ..Not at all....merely truthful.

However your words are some of the most patronising I've ever read.

Have I ever slept under a flyover?

Nope...but I grew up under the constant threat of having our rented house taken away from us. As I got older I watched my father worry more and more as the remaining rented houses on the estate, were bought up by a greedy Estate Agent, who tried to increase the rents vastly, in order to get everyone out and sell the properties on.

I saw my father's tears as he ran out of money to pay the bills sometimes. His children helped him out. I watched him worry the latter part of his life away, because he lived with the thought that his home would be taken away from him, a home that he loved dearly and where he lived for nearly 30 years. Eventually he moved down to Devon with us and we cared for him for the remainder of his days.

You obviously only know rich and wealthy people in Pinner Diane, as that is the world you probably choose to inhabit, there was a very different part of Pinner too that you and your 'pseudo-fashionably middle-class boho' pals obviously haven't a clue about.

So take your patronising words and shove 'em where the sun don't shine.

Oh and what beach? There is no beach in that picture. It's all sea. Obviously your sight is dimming, along with your mind these days....for Branscombe beach is barely even visible from Sidmouth, where the painting is based.

Have I ever led a persecuted life? Only since unfortunately coming into contact with you and your mates, who take great pleasure in belittling, twisting, spinning, ostracising and quite frankly behaving like some of the very worst kind of abusive racists.

Have a nice evening

And now...back to Appleby Horse Fair...
