An interesting thought about turning back time ................ lets just leave it as a thought, perhaps?

.... it would still be subject to interference from the Lackidasical bureaucrats. There is a 1978 Byelaw for Ullswater. Ten miles per hour powered craft speed limit. No indication of any 'exemptions'. Anyone want a four year project? Reminder for the non anoraks - the version of K7 being presented ...

An observer of the postings from the LDNPA and the responses from the BBP on social media described to me "how reasonable the LDNPA had been in their statement". I found this a little hard to believe so I looked again at what had been said and saw that I had not clearly rebutted the second...

Another word defined for us: presumption noun: presumption; an attitude adopted in law or as a matter of policy towards an action or proposal in the absence of acceptable reasons to the contrary. synonyms: assumption, supposition, presupposition, belief, thought, guess, expectation, judgement, surmi...

For those who did not follow the three day exchange of views on a facebook site hosted by a K7 historian, I have taken a moment to wonder why this phrase was used by the LDNPA? [I think their legal eagle had looked over every word being used.] "Bluebird K7 could be launched on Coniston now and ...
