Aha - so you're the one happy about the Council's plans to pretty much level most of Northgate then are you?
That picture looks good, that's the story.

If visitors see the picture wont they be dissapointed when they come into Bridgwater and see the brown sludge of the river. This only look's good because it was taken in the sunshine. What an illusion !!!

TRBC - Spilled milk? Hardly. You can't have your cake and eat it, bucko! Either you want the town razed to the ground or you don't. Tell us, oh great one, what your plan for the future of Bridgwater is?
And Jo-Jo - you clearly don't believe in the Sun then. Big fiery ball up in the sky? Provides enough heat and energy to sustain life itself? Of course it's not an illusion, it's a picture. Just admit it, it LOOKS PRETTY. Stop hating and let some love into your lives....
You two ARE muppets - Statler and Waldorf. Look them up if you don't remember.

Dont embarrass yourself with insulting other peoples comments.You obviously are a fan of the Muppets the way you keep quoting them you dont seem to know anything else.Read my comment .Does that scene look like that 365 days a year if it does you must be wearing rose tinted glasses or are you one of these people that only goes outside when the sun shines .I write what I think which I am entitled to do if you dont like it when you see my user name JO -JO dont read it simple as that .You are amusing others whith your trivia.

TRBC - I've got a car thanks. I use it frequently, it's great to get me around! Thanks for reminding me about the outside world though, I had forgotten all about it. If I were to visit another town, say Wellington, or Chard, or Highbridge... Wonder what I might find there... Nothing of interest, that's what. I'm enjoying living, working and spending my money HERE. Something you obviously don't do. And by spending your money in other towns, you're JUST AS BAD as the Council. YOU have to take responsibility for your actions, however small or insignificant they actually are; after all, if everyone did what you did, there wouldn't be any towns left. Just high rises and shopping centres.
And Jo-Jo. You crack me up! I am amusing others with my trivia? Yet this is embarrassing behaviour? Yes, I am a fan of the Muppets, they amuse me. But I completely fail to see how the hell you can criticize a PHOTOGRAPH, that depicts a factual image that occurred in Bridgwater. It's not a painting, drawing or a photoshop 'representation', it's an actual photograph.
Yet you two loonies hate it!! Cuckoo cuckoo....

twinkles , I have just read my two comments again and I think you need glasses I cannot see anywhere in those two statements the word HATED the photograph and indeed im feeling really proud ive been promoted to a loonie it takes one to know one. The muppets amuse you oh my god there is no hope for you.Get a life. You only seem to be able to insult people you dont even know. I reckon your a screwed up old councillor ( AND THATS AN INSULT TO COUNCILORS SORRY) I love emailing your comments to the office where im employed IN BRIDGWATER it gives a great laugh over our LEGAL coffee break.

I've lost the plot? It's you two who have lost the plot dear! Staying in a 'dead town' forever and longing to move away. Why don't you just go? Leave the town to the people who want to be here.
