FC I used to love that cavalcade of bikes,still like the excellent carnival it seems there's no place for them today.Shame.
I bought the journal and did spot one odd thing.In the planning notices it says application has been received for planning permission to change No1 Battery Green Road from a restaurant to offices.(Conservation area and all that )
My old eye balls aren't what they used to be but even I can see the change from a restaurant to offices (for windcat boats) has already been done.
The planning office seem once again to make things up as they go along.

I loved it to OS used to really get a good feel to see all those rufty tufty bikers riding along some in crazy costume to raise money for charity

I do sincerely believe the planning dept make their own rules up as they go along I know someone who pointed out to them that a certain business up and running for some time had previously been refused planning permission They were very interested and thanked my friend for the information but I see a few years down the line the business not only is still going but has expanded considerably

anybody notice the bit in the Journal about Mark Elliot Furniture closing with branches in Southwold and Norwich.

The closure is a bit sad for the staff, but the history is very strange.

They went into administration in 2010, and were bought out and re-emerged, phoenix like as MEF manufacturing, then this company went into administration and was sold to ME Beccles and ME Stanford.

Each time a Limited Company shuts up shop, their debts belong to that company, so the new one, with such similar titles start anew, then go into administration again, and then start up again - each time with a clean sheet, but the debts of the old companies don't get carried forward.

I have always thought this a terrible thing, because it's their suppliers who lose out - but very often the very same suppliers trade with them again, in the hope they make a go of it and they'll get new business.

I did a job last year for a training company - somebody gave them my name for a rush job, so I went down to London, at my own expense, and did the training. Then they went into administration and I didn't get paid my fee or my own out of pocket expenses. They then re-emerged with a very similar name and asked me to do some more, with the strong hint that if I did, I might then get the money for the first one. I responded with two words, the second of which was stuffed!

Same Directors, same address, same telephone number - but a totally 'new' company, taking the assets, but not the debts of the previous one. This practice stinks!

I recorded the last cavalacade,I put a sign up saying "Give us a rev please" on the shop and for an hour or more they did to rounds of applause to the people watching.A great spectacle to watch and hear.
I give up with this planning department,they've put all sorts of obstructions in my way since I've been here yet allow the chosen few to do as they please and bend over backwards to help them.
The old pals act maybe.
I know what paulears means.I knew someone who specialised in opening companies and then going bankrupt after salting away money.The last time of doing so he owed a lot of money to two brothers, market traders from London having taken them for a few quid them before with a different trading name.They caught up with him after giving him ample warning about their rather unique debt collecting methods.I had no sympathy with him,he got his just deserts (which for some time he had to eat through a straw).

Thanks F.C and Trigger my posts have to go through many drafts before I hit the submit button. Speaking of cock ups have you seen that your not allowed to stop on the bridge!!! How are you supposed to judge the distance during the roadworks Roll Eyes

Loved the cavalcade to, all for a good cause. It brought people to Lowestoft and I am sure helped business in the town why on Earth would they see that as a problem Shocked

The council have decided to do something constructive about roadworks in the town.They have appointed a special officer to take care of things.
Everytime a hole appears on the roads they'll send him
And he'll look into it
BOOM BOOM.
