Hence the reason much of Wigan's greenbelt is being sold at below market value.

only thing good comming out of Liverpool is River Mersey.

But, Albion, the River Mersey doesn't come out of Liverpool. It does itself a favour, by flowing past!

Which greenbelt is being sold Firefox?

See the land that wss green, no years? There's a clue.

Wigan doesn't have any greenbelt.
Replied: 5th Dec 2020 at 15:57
Not again...... another one who doesn't understand what the green belt is. I do, I had trouble with planning permission because my property stands on green belt.

Green land, Annie.. No buildings on it. Is that clearer?
Replied: 5th Dec 2020 at 16:08
No, it is NOT the correct definition. Green belt is a defined area with specific building and other regulations. Look it up before replying with condescending posts.

Annie, the land the council are selling cheaply is land not currently built on. The land is green

Greenbelt is to stop two towns joining together, problem is some greenbelt can be miles wide, so some of it can be built on, our house is on greenbelt but it was there before the greenbelt rule.

No need to get uppity Firefox I was genuinely interested in which greenbelt land was being sold off.
However, if you were just shooting from the lip and making unsubstantiated claims that you hadn't bothered to check whether factual I can understand if you tried to avoid answering the question by being unnecessarily sarcastic.

Tip for firefox.
Ask him a few difficult questions and he'll put you on 'ignore'( yea right) and then you can post what you like to him, he looks at it but because he's got you on 'ignore" he's give up his right to reply

Now that wasn't too difficult was it Firefox?

Psst, you forgot the comma before my username...again

Got you, fair play, apparently it was.
As it was a bit garbled (.>) I didn't bother copying as I assumed it wasn't correct (it isn't a link).

BTW, why would I need for a comma in front of your username?

No answer to the comma question then?
Presumably because you were wrong........again.

Yeah.
Replied: 5th Dec 2020 at 20:45
He's correct. You missed out a comma. However, the comma wouldn't be before his username, it would be behind the previous word.
ie: "Now that wasn't too difficult was it, Firefox"?
Replied: 5th Dec 2020 at 21:29
"He's correct. You missed out a comma. However, the comma wouldn't be before his username, it would be behind the previous word."
No I didn't, if I had intended to pause before his name then you would have been correct. However I didn't.
If there was any comma required anywhere it would have been after the word "difficult".
ie "Now that wasn't too difficult, was it Firefox"?

Quite Firefox.
Is anyone like me and finds that as we get older the simplest points of grammar and structuring seem to be less and less obvious to us? (not that it really matters anyway)
I also find that with the simplest of words that in years gone by I wouldn't have even had to think about how they are spelt/spelled but now don't seem right until I put them down on paper/computer, and sometimes not even then.
No doubt it's an age thing.

It depends if you are addressing Firefox, directly.
"Now, that wasn't too difficult". "Was it Firefox?"
As this is a public forum, may I suggest that you were addressing all possible readers.
In that case, it should have been, "Now, that wasn't too difficult was it, Firefox"?
Replied: 5th Dec 2020 at 21:45
But I wasn't addressing all possible readers, I was addressing Firefox.
Plus I had no need to use two sentences.
Your version below could prompt the answer, " No, it wasn't Firefox", as in, it wasn't him. In that case I would have been addressing the readership at large.
"Now, that wasn't too difficult". "Was it Firefox?"

One thing I am is a bit naiive with regards to the identities of posters.
Do you reckon there are many posters who have returned under a different name?
I've always been 0 years.
Who do you think are current posters who used to be known differently?
I know it is widely believed that LG was Kellysdad (with or without the comma).

Nothing new about corrupt councilors, no matter where they are from.
And it abounds everywhere and within most organisations, political or otherwise.
Just glad when they are caught with their dirty mitts in the cookie jar.

Jathbee. It is shocking AngelWood saying, "you all need to get out more boys".
There is no comma after 'more'. How many boys are they supposed to get out? I assumed it was an independant clause and was confused when she didn't suggest the further boys anyone should get out.
