No BB you are not being petty, just accurate. I live opposite the sea wall and regularly observe what you have seen. The project is at least three months behind schedule and we haven't even hit winter yet! And when it's completed will it stop the 50 foot waves crashing onto the line?
Perhaps someone can ask if the rumours are true that the work is so far behind it won’t even be finished by the end of March!
They are refurbishing it but mainly to reconfigure things to try and stop the thieving that goes on blatantly every night!
What on earth will this officer do? Think I’ll apply for the job, money for old rope!

The BBC is outdated and needs to move into the 21st centuary. If we want to watch BBC then we should pay like we do for Sky or any other service and if we don’t then we shouldn’t be paying, it really is that simple! I happily pay for Sky yet rarely watch the British Bias Corporaton(BBC) so why should I have to pay for something I choose not to Watch? I’m now ready for the volley of ...
