TRAVELLERS AT THIEVES LANE ?

Well, all of us readers who are in to dogging will know the dogging area at the bottom of Thieves Lane. A couple of caravans have been parked there for the best part of a week. Are they travellers? Are they doggers? Are they dogger spotters? Bit of buggar really cos that's put pay to any privacy we doggers used to enjoy.....

An incredible choice of subject and words. I thought it was a picnic area...

they are the birch green travellers. see other thread! they are excluded from birch green "greens" and their land in birch green via injunctions at the moment. they are presumably waiting for the injunctions to expire then they'll return to the greens.

And if you can't contribute to a discussion in a meaningful, respectful and polite manner, expect your account to be reviewed. Heated discussions are usually poor discussions, often the result of flaming, either intended or unintended. They contribute nothing to the forum as a whole and usually end up in the "When Threads Go Bad" section. http://www.hertford.net/yoursay/policy.asp

I'm with Dennis. Winter's comment, without evidence, is defamation and being written and published, probably libel. Unless, of course, Winter can prove the allegation.

Because his response was to, and included, the offending remark.

Would have removed it myself, James. It was in reply to and quoted a removed post.

Can't quite work out who got the slap on the wrist here. Was it me, Shunt or Winter or all three of us ?

I think it was Winter as their post was removed and he/she got the slapped wrist! Remember you have to be careful as tongue in cheek comments (referring to my reading of the original post by Winter) can be taken very seriously by certain forum members and "discussions" tend to rapidly go down hill![;)][B)]

Gawd ! I must have been dozing when Winter's post was posted. Can somebody, somewhere re-post Winter's post so I can see what all the fuss was about ? Failing that, would you (Winter that is) post it to me personally? Poste-haste please.. Thanks Winter xxxx TIGER xxxx

My objection is not to "tongue in cheek humour". A forum is a powerful tool in spreading rumour. What starts as a "joke", possibly without awareness of one's own prejudice in making it, can quickly snowball. "Discussion" is not publishing unfounded presumptions about the persons who are unknowingly being discussed. My own view is that tiger.1000's OP is plainly a joke, it works and is identifiable as such, the joke being the location and it's perceived use. Winter's follow up is targeted at specific persons. One is a joke, the other is a defamatory allegation. There is a difference.

Come on ADMIN....Give Winter a chance ! after all he is a new boy, or girl,or even a bit of each? Go on ! let him back in....I'm sure by now he or she or both is riddled with guilt and even feeling suicidal. Would you want a death on your hands ?

A trip down to Ware On Line will find Winter bitching about Hertford at the moment http://www.wareonline.co.uk/haveyoursay/topic.php?id=5348&whichpage=1

Slightly off topic James (sorry Steve) but is Winter referring to the Canadians who want to live in HERTFORD/WARE/HERTFORD...can't make their bloody minds up ?

Or put a big barrier around Bengeo (lower slopes and all) and make them stay there for ever ! Bet the rest of Hertford would look more "attactive" to them then [}:)]

Well with all the road use restrictions, barriers etc in Bengeo and 'lower Bengeo' they have practically cut themselves off anyway [:p]

Now back to the interesting part of the original post: Well, all of us readers who are in to dogging will know the dogging area at the bottom of Thieves Lane. You Kidding? [:0]

Only repeating what I saw in The Mercury recently ! Apparently the bottom of Thieves Lane is one location, together with parts of Foxholes Industrial Estate and the car parks at Hartham. So if you decide to take it up, those are the places to see the action !
