Newbury Town Clangers are on Youtube.  Not my doing, and I don't even know the people that made it, but jolly nice support.

Fantastic! Someone clearly has a grasp of all the important points, wonder if some council official somewhere has got a bit of a red face?

I think Ellen has a good point there .
We all admire your stand Simon, and as you say it is not you who has done the video.
Yes they deserve to be ridiculed- but I am just a bit concerned that  now is not the best  time to do it?

No it wasn't you Simon - you can spell  ;D

As others have said, excellent support, somebody has really worked hard on this.  It all helps, just hope eventually it will be enough.  Good luck!

I thought that was brilliant, maybe it will shake them up a bit & they will back off now.

Up to yet I dont think that the council have accepted the olive branch and it wasn't Simon who made the video anyway

I watched the film and had a good laugh. I don't see why NTC would be upset by it. The people who made the film are very clever and introduced a bit of light hearted fun into what has clearly been a difficult dispute.

Hopefully NTC and Simon would laugh at it together and bring the dispute to an end and leave Simon to enjoy his allotment in peace.

Witty, but certainly the odd spelling mistake and a few copyright infringements possibly?

My only concern was that NTC have not indicated that they possess a sense of humour! Maybe mine is lacking a bit today!
At the moment they seem to be leaving Simon to carry on gardening -I just hope they continue to do that.
Good luck Simon - missed the soup dragon though!

I'm still trying to understand the nature of Simon's olive branch - it seems to be that they leave him alone in his garden and he continues to slag them off on the internet.

And I am wondering if we all watched the same YouTube video - the one I saw was where Simon's parting words to the NTC were F**k Off.
