I've read this forum with interest as Pete & Abbie Crouch are friends of mine and I put them in touch with Bothomes. The house now looks magnificent and is being looked after. With sheep being on the land I only think they are being careful to try and control any dogs that come loose and worry the sheep.

Often footballers can be seen in a poor light out of the footballing world so he's only trying to ensure there's no upset.

Interesting that people have been listening into conversations of mine in Wetherspoons in Hazel Grove. I feel rather important now!!

You're entitled your opinion. Think it's a bit too much to accuse me of lying. Next time I'm up there I'll post a picture of me outside the house.

Impressive vocabulary.

Looks as though Peter's moving to London to QPR.

just looking at this and wondering what someone from outside the area thinking of moving in would think. I am a confirmed dog owner. I pick up my dogs dirt when in public areas away from the "wilds", and most certainly dont leave it on fence posts in plastic bags as an exhibit of my hounds passing. By the same measure I would mutually expect other dog owners not to cross my private land, should I decide to enclose it. The key hear is communication and mutual respect folks. I,m sorry but "we are from here and have always done this" attitude only breeds contempt and if we all stuck to that ethos then we,d still be using old women who live on their own as a viable alternative to firelighters. The village will change as the population grows,: it must as we are still driven to procreate and hopefully thrive. To be afraid of change is understandable but not excuseable when it threatens the rights of others to maintain the boundaries they have paid for. It doesnt read well. There is no invasion and militant stances where they need not be adopted do not portray this beautiful area in a favourable light. Rant over.
