That explains his very cross reply!
Thank you for helping him to understand what I was trying to say.
It just shows. how the situation with BCL might have got out of hand.
Offence can be taken, as it was in this case, where non was intended only, wry observations.
That's life!

Steve, a classic restoration takes about four to five months. You just ring Toby Silverton at Kensington. There is a very long goodies list you can go for!

Based on what Mr Chairman (TS, that is) told us last May, that timetable may be a bit optimistic depending on the work order.

Then, there is always the human tendency to add some more goodies to the list after the job has begun and that would prolong completion, without a doubt.

There can be only so many workers at work on a vehicle at any given time, as one will understand.

There is no law against censorship. But there is for libel. In the UK if you have snow outside your door and you attempt to clear it and someone falls you are liable because you took responsibility for the whole thing as soon as you touched it. If you just leave your snow untouched and someone falls then that is their problem alone, you are not liable. Moderating blogs works the same way which is why you either don't moderate at all in which case you get spammed by nutcases and the real users fade away or you moderate pretty heavily to avoid any action, libel is the least of your worries as you can be held liable for racist, homophobic or religious hatred quite easily and these are criminal rather than civil issues.

Hi Lou, mine took under five months last time, TS did indicate a similar time to me in the last few weeks when discussing an addition to the fold although the works are full. Series 6 are on waiting lists.

I thought libel is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim

I guess with you I have just the right to shut up and pay

As Jacques Brel said "Plus ça devient vieux plus on devient bête ..... plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient con ' )

Very interesting. In the states you'll lose in a liability suit if you leave your walk/doorstep unswept and someone, postman, whomever, falls and sues. It's your property, hence your obligation to keep it safe. Not a national law, of course, but that's the way state courts and juries work here now.
