Having moved here recently I don't want my chances of, at long last, getting a library card ruined by the fecal orientated guff that realworld is expelling from his nether regions. Some of us ""incomers"" want nothing to do with the likes of the ""notting hillers"" and their flatulent mouthpieces. I normally only ever write to complain about the seagulls in West Bay, cows and sheep being allowed to defecate in fields, and the lack of proper street lighting in all villages and along the country lanes but this has gone too far so realworld I will type slower so you understand what would be considered equitable. If you own one house you pay one council tax. If you own two houses you pay one council tax for one and double council tax for the second. If you own three houses you pay one council tax on the first, double on the second, triple on the third, Very simple and very fair. If you have more you can afford to pay more, so pay up or pack up and go. If realworld has ruined my chances of a library card I shall be forced to join MC Sanandreas, despite all of his faults.

Sdaly the article is becoming true isn't it? I mean what exactly is a ""Gusto Market"" as I have never heard of a Gusto I am surprised to find out that there is such demand for them that they have their own market. Are they real or is it just some poncey idea by some incoming ponce to try and ponce up the marketplace by making it more poncey to appeal to the sort of ponce who might think that the area was missing poncey things like Gusto. Like the song says ""times they are a changing"". Mind you there is another song that says ""I predict a riot""

I think burning may put a bit of a strain on our firestation. How about public flogging in Bucky Doo square???. It could be done once a year on carnival night, as a bit of a show at the end of the evening. A raffle could be held and 6 lucky locals could win the chance to 'flog an incomer'. Local business owners could 'sponsor a flogging'. Hot dogs and burgers, fun for all the family. Prizes for the best flogging of the evening....................... ...... Anyone from the carnival organisers reading this..................

I've explained a number of times that the housing situation in Bridport is NOT an exclusive situation - it's the same everywhere in the UK. All I get is class-war, politics of envy type rhetoric from the more militant Bridporters. You seem not to want any visitors into the town. I imagine you work in what would be called "" dead-end"" jobs - certainly nothing entrepenurial eg the Beach & Barnicott . etc. Businesses like the B&B and the Electric Palace, the art galleries, restaurants, pubs etc do not need outsiders - they RELY on them/us. Without people coming into the town spending their hard earned money - the town would shrivel up and die - is that what you want ? Actually, I can imagine some of you DO want that. You can sit with the arse hanging out of your trousers in an empty pub congarulating yourselves on dragging Bridport back 30 years. Although actually, and this may come as a nasty shock - people like you ARE the past. Whether you like it or not, we, the well-educated, upwardly mobile, finacially wealthy metropolitans are here to stay. You, the poor locals may not like it - but the businessmen of Bridport do, so do the property men - so buck up,accept your lot and get used to it. You may have noticed my tone has changed somewhat from my initial posts - if you lot want to dish it out then I presume by the same token, you can accept some back. Wake up to the Real World - it's Bridport 2007 - Notting Hill On Sea. PS Isn't suggesting a criminal act (arson) an offence ? RealWorld - It's fine to ""have a go"" and a lively debate from differing points of view is what this site is about, but I am warning you not to be so abusive in future. I am only publishing this comment because it seems by your rude assumptions that you are showing your true colours.

and carlito, you may think you have your finger on the pulse (of popular opinion) thats how it starts ......and next is censoring the press ( or asking for posts to be cropped?) what next a nice little moustache and an impressive uniform?

Posted by Rosieo6, on 14-04-2007 14:36,

Oh dear Realworld we are spitting our dummy out of the pram aren't we.Assuming that you can come on site and insult decent hardworking people in deadend jobs is a very smug way of putting across your upwardly mobile attitude.Also I gather that the gist of your argument is that as I have not had the chance of your lifestyle and am of no use to shopkeepers and winebar owners then I am not entitled to an opinion unless it is on the best way to clean your home or collect your rubbish? When are you going to add your photo to site so that you are not anonymous.Look forward to meeting you. As we live in the real world there will be no burning of homes so sleep safely.

Posted by Rosieo6, on 14-04-2007 14:45,

Tuzo if you have missed some of the posts you will not know that Carlito apologised for his outbursts and was toning things down.Then real world was so patronising,as are some of your comments and off it all goes again.Privilige is no excuse for rudeness no more than being underprivilaged is. I really resent being told that as I am not affluent I have no voice or the right to live in the area I was born in.

Posted by Rosieo6, on 14-04-2007 14:59,

Rustic me ol' fruit me thinks you are writing thru' gritted teeth.Hardly surprising as you will be considered infantile in a flash. The point is that there will be NO COUNTRYSIDE.New Builds are not allowed unless they are holiday homes,affordable housing is not affordable as the cost of living in the area is sky high,crime is taking over.Is it any wonder that young people are turning to drugs and alchohol.If you were to look at the percentage of young people on drugs that come from middle class(upwardly mobile)households it may be a shock. Incomers may be a good thing but not when there is a flood of them due to stupid publicity.Did any of the incomers move here to get away from an influx of imigrants in there area?Apologies for any spelling mistakes etc.

I have no problem with real worlds desire to live here as I'm guessing he/she comes from aright hole and can't wait to escape ... but it seems he wants to have his cake and eat it ... work in the hole during the week, amass a fortune, then spend idyllic weekends in country retreat taunting us backward bumpkins. Hell, I bet if he caught one of us riding a modern motorcycle instead of the council issued mule he'd probably run us off the road leaving limbs attached to his bumper as a trophy to his townie mates. The real problem is buying a house as a weekend toy artificially inflates the market while reducing the housing and land available to the local population. Less housing = even higher prices so it's a no win situation. The so called dead end jobs are perpetuated because city boy wishes to have the best serevice for the lowest price and his townie chum who owns the restaurant doesn't want to pay decent wages to his staff or he may have to take a lower profit. No real jobs exist because every time a local business tries to expand it is met with resistance from the well off. That just leaves the service and care industries which are the worst paid jobs in the land.

i may have been joking when i said ""burn some sense into em!"" Monty Python anyone? mind you i may be getting a torch ready as we speak. yes,yes,yes,fear of fire!!!!!!!!!!!!

in a debate about the Congestion charge, overheard recently, a lady said it wouldnot affect her much longer as she was selling her west London home and buying a large house in this area. Soon we will be overun with escapees from London or swallowed up by an ever expanding Poundbury!

Strange that I have been told by the editor to tone my comments down, when in one of the previous posts a contributor suggested burning down my house. Seems like one rule for one and one for another ( that is the another who doesn't 100% agree with what the editor says). The whole tone of the anti-newcomers debate really does smack of somekind of Big Brother/Stalinist movement from days gone by. I repeat- I love Bridport & West Dorset - that's why I've bought a property here. It's just I resent being held personally responsible for expensive housing, food markets, wine bars, wine, cars and the price of bread. You cannot live in a bubble circa 1974 folks. The world moves on - you may not like it - there are loads of things in modern life I hate - but being a mature adult, one has to just get on with YOUR life and not keep looking for someone to blame. Believe it or not, I'm quite a decent bloke. No 4 by 4 for me - I'm not awash with cash nor do I speak with a plum in my mouth. Who knows, you may have already had a chat and a pint with me.

How can such a well educated and upwardly mobile man, not grasp such an easy concept? It is dead simple its called waste! Second home owners are wasting property, easy as that. Popping down once a fortnight and buying a ploughman’s does really contribute to community, either economically or spiritually. Sure the area depends on tourism, great come visit, stop in a hotel. Oh bugger my bum has escaped my pants again!! From dimwit dead ender (BA Hons, RGN, PG Dip and Queens Guide (including rabbit keepers badge)) OR the other possibility ; Mr Real World does understand very well indeed and is really a Mole sent in to divide and rule.

1. Realworld you've done yourself more damage in your last two posts than I could ever dream of doing. I have copied and pasted your ""big bad comment"" and emailed it to the Bridport News as an example of the attitude that some weekenders have towards our community. 2. Tuzo - I'm getting fed up with you. You're like a little mosquito buzzing around in a tent. Cut out your ""opposition for the sake of it"" - start saying something that matters. And if you carry on insinuating that I swing to the far right I'll contact the editor with a view to your membership being revoked. It hurts me when u suggest I wear a fake mustache and ""uniform"". I am not that person and comments like that are personal and bad mannered.

Posted by Vocal Local, on 16-04-2007 12:03,

Realworld- your views really are un believeable!! Can you not grasp the point at all, the real concerns of the locals in this area??? Are you for real? I have a sneaking feeling that you may just be a mole, on the wind up. Luckily I love pest control and have a large collection of mole traps ;-P

Posted by Rosieo6, on 16-04-2007 14:33,

The point is(to tuzo & realworld) that I made a complaint about some of the posts on the site,(see vitriol) apologies were made and things toned down as it was getting personal BUT then the person who was being defended came back and launched into a tirade of abuse.Did the previous comments get looked at?No-one wants to stay circa 1974 but why can't we comment on unfair publicity?(you and we does not mean them and us by the way).Everyone has a right to speak but it should be debate not venom. Remember pink mist only:)

Posted by tuzo, on 16-04-2007 17:57,

there was a time at the start of all these posts, when a reasonable discusssion could have taken place, but unfortunately most of you lept on ""real world"" like a pack of hyenas, flexing your intellectual (i use that word loosly) muscles and in the guise of humour, making some pretty insulting and derogatory comments(and personal ones too carlito) So go ahead, have me revoked .. have me dismantled, report me to the great panjandarum..... fire me out of a cannon, i dont mind.. but when you trot off to the bridport news with your angry post from real world, remember to enclose some of the taunting nasty ones you have written too eh? my understanding of manners, is that you are hospitable to visitors...... and i have found that most of the rest of bridport are just that, hospitable.. you could learn a lot from them.

when i was Bridports premier hair stylist everything was so much easier. now it seems that everyone just wants to winge and moan while life passess them by. There's a whole world out there for the taking and it seems a shame that some people choose to institutionalize themselves in one small part of it! I had to move from Bridport even though I'm born and bred just so I could make something of my life. I thought I would leave it to my peers who will inherit mummy and daddys business or take over the manor house from Uncle Ted! When I return to Bridport to retire I'll be able to walk along Chesil beach happy in the knowledge that i've met many people and experienced many great places. Some people will not be able to do that as they've wasted their time gossiping,moaning and generally letting life pass them by. Ignorance is bliss....i think not!

Dear Doctor Malicious Could you stand still the next time you are drinking a coffee outside Jay's in bucky Doo? Also please refrain from walking behind large objects which may break my line of sight.

Hi-Jack (tee hee). Good point. I'm off to travel the world for years and try and start a career in the big city. Oh no, wait a minute, I've already done all that, and I've decided that Bridport is the best place to be - short of emegrating to a small island off the coast of Gujarat, Diu, or settling for a fjord in New Zealand. Moving away for the majority of your productive life and retiring here 40 years later is all well and good, it's your choice and you are entitled to it. Of course this confirms my thoughts that 30% of people move here and screw over the locals, 20% of people move here and contribute to the community, blend in and get on with it, and a huge 50% of people move here simply to DIE.
