Rolling Road in Leeds

[biggles]

A brand new rolling road(2wd only) is about to open in Hyde Park,Leeds. I have been most satisfied with the repair garage next door that its connected with.

Hmmm,

Let me see now... new board member - just one post - to 'impartially' recommend a new business

Let me just remind you that Noble Motorsport have set up 20% of the club members (people who have paid subs as opposed to board members who have wondered onto our website!) cars - and as far as I'm aware everyone is very happy!

Now listen hear, just because your commercial arrangements seem threatened by a competitor, doesn't mean you are entitled to start throwing accusations around . For your information, I was a member of the original core of enthusiasts for many years prior to Northern Roadsters being formed(& it was me who coined the name by the way), and I proferred this information in good faith as this facility will be very convenient for Leeds based people,(we had two rolling roads in Leeds until recently altho' I personally wasn't satisfied with one of them. Because of your nerve,I will now unhesitatingly recommend another Rolling Road facility, Dennis Vessey near Humberside Airport, worth the journey, for carburettor or injector aspirated engines; not the cheapest perhaps, but very good used by historic sports racers, stock cars.
Oh and by the way, your English is appalling; you have actually implied that Noble have set up 20% of our membership(would this be their cars or their pockets?). Is it a wonder why anyone would wander onto a web-site?

Now listen here?

Lighten your tone dear poster!

This is a forum for discussion not accusation.

You are a bit silly anyway picking an argument with a forum moderator - how are you going to win that?

My English is fine thanks: I at least have a bag of full stops - you only used 2 in a lengthy paragraph!

To the point. I have no relation with Noble Motorsport other than customer. Noble have set up the engines of Nik, Rob, Jason, James, Dave and some work for Bill (pretty much all 'original members'). Now as far as I know 6 x 5 = 30 is about right.

I was certainly at the meeting where the name was chosen 'by the way', and I'm surprised from that chaos anyone claims individual ownership of any idea!

You miss the point of my reply completely. Recommending good trades-people is absolutely fine. Never posting anything, contributing nothing to discussion, and even then only posting barely over one line, gives little weight to any such recommendation.

If you can 'surf' online I am sure you can 'wander'. So sorry for the spelling mistake. Perhaps you should find a pedants forum now

Lastly - you are welcome to build and maintain the website and the forum for the club, if my efforts aren't good enough for you - just let me know and the job is yours. Easy to criticise isn't it?

(Yes I sign my posts too - though I know who you are others might not)

Please keep any reply objective and 'light hearted' - if I want a slanging match I'll find a playground.

Now, listen, hear, right here.
I have never used a forum before: my intention was simply to inform the membership of a new service convenient to them with which I have no financial connection; and I was therefore offended by the implication within the somewhat bullying reply from the Moderator.
I certainly don't wish to run the Forum;I have no ambitions to control and/or influence members' thinking.
I had no idea, as a novice user, that signing one's name to a post is de rigeur.

Anthony,

Luckily I'm not as stupid as I look - so the insinuation that I both seek to influence the minds of the membership (pity anyone daft enough to be influenced by me) and also that I am a bully (putting after and observation seems quite light-weight in the bullying stakes but hey-ho) are not lost on me.

I am so sorry if you feel bullied.

Surely though you would not expect any forum moderator to leave alone any anonymous review of a service provider? It could have come from the service provider themselves - which surely would not be right? I was tempted just to delete it - kind of wish I had now!
