And we have produced facts of a number of seaside resorts that are going from strength to strength. It's amazing, that we're the close minded minority, yet we are willing to accept that you are right, and in some circumstances, and cases, seaside resorts aren't doing well. Yet you're not then willnig to accept any point that we have which proves that the one properly looked after and invested in
are. I said in an above post and I'll say it again, you will not respond to anythnig laid out which provenly contradicts your staid and narrow-minded views.
If it wasn't so fun watching you repeat the same old drivel time and again, I'd not bother responding to you, but I quite enjoy this game of Bob-baiting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't a certain Phillip Miller, working with Nick, put together a business proposal to renovate dreamland? Oh, they did? And was there a multi-million pound investment plan? There was? And was it stopped by a bunch of arrogant goits determined that it would fail by over-valuing the land? It was? I think the case is rested there really Bob. In reality, you're just peeved because you never managed to pull a quick one quite as successfully as Amanda Thompson, and get the place closed before somebody could put a stop to it.
I'll tell you now too, if I thought for a minute that I could put together abusiness plan and take over Pleasureland, I would. I know for a fact that Amanda Thompson would fight tooth and nail to stop it. Then the park as a going concern is worth millions, even with the "white Knuckle" rides gone. The isn't a single bank or investor in the country that would touch a 33 year old IT manager after 10 million pounds plus to run a theme park. I don't have any real money to invest myself, so it's just never going to happen.
Unlike you Bob, we live in a real world, where we are real people, with real lives. We may talk on the internet to each other, but we actually do exist as real people beyond these hallowed pages.
