Uhoh.Dorset Evening echo are getting on the bandwagon now and even quoting from this site(without mentioning the name).Just remember carlito only pink mist.Rifle ready Bat?Maybe we could pinch some of the numerous sets of tempory traffic lights and put them on permenant red at the entrances to Bridport to discourage large numbers of 'incomers?'

OMG! Well..when I started reading the Echo article I thought ""well at least this is getting across the other side of the arguement""...but now I fear it may have back fired. Our point was we didn't like Bridport being represented as Notting-Hill-On-Sea, but now, we're being represented as a bunch of pitchfork-weilding angry villagers. This was easy journalism for Mary, thrown in a few controversial quotes from a Bridport website forum and a glance in the direction of the offending article and voila!...a front page story. Well....we're still mis-represented. hey ho. I'd rather have no representation at all at this rate! And Tuzo...Yes, thanks I was aching to be disagreed with(!) No but seriously, it wasn't that everyone agreed with me, it was that I simply had the popular view and others shared it too. Anyway, fancy a pint? Let's get together and shake hands me ol' fruit.

Aaah isn't lovely when people make up. As for Real World I thought he was just having fun winding people up. But that last post suggests perhaps he was serious? Wrong website mate. As for the Bridport Radio Christmas party it's going to be a corker - We've got Herbie Treehead and Rob Lee doing an Abba songs spectacular, Gavin Morris from Digital Funfair handing out handsets to control a live video beatbox, there's to be an auction of peerages, woodlouse racing (if we can work out how to get the little tykes to wear racing silks), local films and of course it wouldn't be a christmas party without the Sidekicks and a big mirror ball. There's also a kicking VJ set by Digital Jam and, finishing off the night, DJ Big Nancy will banging out hi-energy disco anthems. Tickets will be £6 adv from Bridport Records available shortly - please buy early, it makes me spend more on the gig :-)

ohhhhhh see what you mean Mr Head (comment 14). Guess we are all, me included, guilty of a bit of ribbing but its only meant to further the ""debate"" (use the term lightly). Come back Real World much missed, cough, Dorset born and Dorset bred strong in the arm and ""off"" me head. No pun intended Mr head. PS where is the party taking place?

I have had the priviledge of living in Bridport for the past 16 years and can honestly say that I have never had any negative comments from anyone for being an outsider. Everyone without exception has made us feel 100% welcome. I can appreciate the desire to keep the town much as it is (although a few less charity shops and boarded up pubs wouldn't go amiss) but there is a very fine line between retaining independence and becoming another Royston Vasey.
