Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Can't really help dc but a suggestion is to go into history - I hope someone else with more knowledge can give you better advice. Thanks for the above. I am sure I would not be renting a house out without checking on it!!!! One would have a good idea by looking at the state of the outside, letter lone the inside

Thanks 3m. Just purchased our local newspaper called the observer - How sad to see a store close in Bishops Stortford called Tissimans menswear. The store began trading in 1601, when Queen Elizabeth 1 was on the throne. The store is the oldest of its kind in the world. The recession has finally defeated the towns oldest business.
The internet has also played a part and the changing attitude to male fashion.
Another empty shop in the high street .

Tissimans was established in 1601 as a tailor, draper and undertaker, in the historic building opposite St. Michael's Church in Bishop's Stortford.

Being amongst the oldest standing businesses in the world, tissimans was originally founded by "Slaters" in 1601. It is hard to tell when the name changed to Tissimans but the earliest evidence of tissimans was in the late 1800's in an old ledger book. To date Tissimans has claim to being the oldest mens clothing establishment in the world.

Part of the premises dates from about 1360, with modern additions around 1545. The shop still has lots of traditional features whilst surrounded by top quality modern and classic garments.

To add to its history, Tissimans has even provided liveries, the fitting of entire staff with tailor made uniforms, to Sandringham House and Windsor Castle.

How sad is that? We will have nothing left of tradition soon. However have a good rest of the evening. Our local town is the pits - beautiful buildings gone - full of charity shops - banks and building societies and apparatly they are going to close the maket, we will see. Nite nite.

Very sad 3m. A huge store called pearsons was founded in 1903 only shut in August last year. The high street will soon be opticians, coffee shops and banks. Good night 3m.

Just been sent this by e-mail......... Via pm money am.

I was posting years after the post you link to. In fact I post almost every day under a different username

Now you know why i called hIm scum.

Good luck to you who support him and trust him.

What fools you are.

I said earlier I couldnt trust him anymore.

Mind this is just a game for him hes loving it.

If you have your head screwed on ignore him in future.

lol
A lot of MAM users have other usernames on ADVFN. One of the reasons is that there is a large number of MAM users that were banned by ADVFN when MAM started up. I won't bother to list them. I am sure goldfinger does not filter anyone really. I have always thought filtering people was a sign of a weak mind as it is quite simple to ignore people if that is what is required. I seem to have rattled his cage anyway. Some people seem to have forgotten that these BBs are for amusement.

these BBs are, i hope, primarily for useful information to give some guidance as to what shares may be worth following

Cynic,

"these BBs are, i hope, primarily for useful information to give some guidance as to what shares may be worth following"

I often wondered why you posted.

But the squelch button is useful, and speeds up scanning of postings by avoiding the postings of those who seem to have the need to be deliberately grossly or crudely abusive.

True, one can read and ignore the abuse, but the temptation is to rebut false, or what one thinks false “assertions”, but doing so just feeds the needs of the perpetrators and increase the level of abuse and is a “waste of time”.

It is interests me that many of this “type” of poster, often show the need to “gang” with others, like bully boys, or girls in the playground. Doing so seemingly gives themselves and their opinions an unjustified validity.

(I am happy for them do continue to post, as it may prevent them from doing worse.)

Did anyone see David Attenborough's African programme on the Sahara a few days ago?

This cartoon in Friday's Times (only now have the time to post it) refers to that - just had to share it with you guys :) Peter Brookes is just brilliant!

Never thought of him as Dung Beetel before. More as a Boys Own reader of history.

Chris Huhne pleads guilty.

Reminds me of Jonathan William Patrick Aitken.

should bloody well think so ...... why on earth should he ever have even contemplated pleading otherwise? ....... he was very clearly "banged to rights" and will now certainly be hit with a harsher punishment
