GUEST shocked and appalled in Reading: you say
"I don't think where anyone lives has any bearing on this matter at all...and as for this bogus "us vs "them" debate, I think Ms Cornish was referring, rightly or wrongly, to Appleby as a whole and not one single group of people, as certain elements on these boards would have us believe".
   I would like to point out that you are 100% wrong, as well as shocked and appalled. If I may quote Ms Cornish verbatim, she spells it out very clearly herself:
"if they cannot police it themselves...the Travelling Families that is, then they have no right to continue it".
The three little ... in that quote, by the way, are hers in the original, not me leaving saomething out.
Why not identify yourself, GUEST? It is often difficult for us Mudcatters to discuss a topic of mutual interest when you anonymous trolls turn up and muddy the waters, in the RIver Eden and elsewhere.
