Sandra, things are a thousand times better. Unless the flat is directly above the pub, your friend should not be bothered. However things are always quite in the winter months. It's the summer months that are the nosiest. Between the two pubs at the bottom of king's Road and the ever-increasing trib...

Go your self, Bob. Not every one hides behind a pseudo name and if they do, so what. They still have some thing to say. But if we don't want to hear then we can dismiss it as tittle-tattle. However be careful as this tittle-tattle is also called free speech and democracy.

I'd also like to know how are relations? From my perspective there is an uneasy truce with the Tides Inn. A few months prior to the license hearing in October a Punch pub's lawyer came out of the woodwork and met with the environmental health noise abatement team. I was advised that the lawyer fully...

Thanks for that Marya.

Can any one feed back what was discussed at the community council meeting with regards the jet skis?
Maureen

maureen mclaughlin

Thanks for that Bob; I hope this extends as far as King's Road. As the majority of the jet skis get access there. It would certainly not have been hard to have found jet skier there as they were there most of the summer.
Keep us posted.
Maureen.

The jet skies and speed boats seem to be a seasonal problem. Hopefully by the end of this month there will be none as they don't do cold weather and obviously can't manage there machines in challenging seas. They just go up and down on very calm water. I very much agree that they need to be located ...

I use to look out my window and love to seeing kayaks, cannons, sail boats, horse being exercised, wind surfers, people flying kites and children enjoying them self but not for a long time. Now I hear then see jet skis, mine hover crafts motor bikes and cars being driven at high speed up and down th...

The jet skiers from my observation (about 6yr or so) don't give a toss about any one or any thing. How ever why should they as no one in authority gives a toss about them. There are no buoys at the kings Road end. Obviously it doesn't matter if the bathers are in danger at the King's Road end or tha...

When they advised people to leave the state but did not provide any transportation or accommodation or advice of where they could seek refuse, they left the poor, old invalided and disenfranchised to die! In others word the predominantly the black community. Even now they seem to be more interested ...

Yes poppy been away to the tranquil Perthshire aria. Fab the only noise was cows mooing and sheep baaing. Absolutely bliss. Nice to be back though can only put up with bliss for so long. Hope the golden ball is to do with the jet skis.

Best of luck to the author of the letter. I contacted the councillor, MP, SMP and environmental health for more or less the same issues about three years ago. A number of suggestions were made like Susan Decon recommending the police talk to the jet ski drivers and ask them not to use there machines...

If I was a neighbour of the Forest Arms, I'd sell! Sell! Sell! now! now! now! Beer gardens sounds nice but take it from me it will be hell on earth for the people who live in the vicinity. A sunny day will start ok but as it goes on, the customers voices will get louder and on a good day the afterno...

Sadie, I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know about Pal of Porty but if I was even to consider it we would have to get a few ground rules. 1) The minuet you looked as if you were about to dance around your hand bag it's over befour it even starts. 2) Turn up in you favourite big shoulder spangled outfit :glasses6: the...

maureen mclaughlin

Sadie I think before you hit the high note .:0.: you should think, should I go or should I stay, as you may go on to spoil a perfect day, because oh my god. I predict a riot :bom: If you continue on Saturday night. Plus it out date and not the modern way to sing \:D/ so loud down at the river. Why d...

maureen mclaughlin

And IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve been watching you

and hearing you!!

Scarlet Sadie!! Tip stop trying to hit the top C! Sing in you range!!

I was a waitress at a number of hotels, all I rember is, the bigger the hotel the dirtier the kitchen! When I left school I got a civil service post with the institute of geological studies, kingÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s buildings. As a lab assistant. I washed, dried and sieved sand! IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not joking. The best...

maureen mclaughlin

Thank you, pal of porty! at last I'm being understood.
Mo

maureen mclaughlin

Meaning its all my own fault. Nice! Blame the victim. It makes no odds whether I meet the licensee or not. Its not my behaviour that's anti social and I have no obligation to meet with anyone in relation to this issue. The only meeting I intimated that I wished to attend was the very meeting that su...

maureen mclaughlin

Bob, I have never intimated that I wish to meet with the Licensee, I think youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll find this was at the prefectÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s suggestion, made at the meeting I was not allowed to attend. (When the licensee asked why I was not at the meeting, which I know she did. What was the replay?) I have never ...

maureen mclaughlin

A quick up date for the prefects, I thought you would be interested to know what changes the residents of KingÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Road have experienced, since your meeting with the licensee of the Tides Inn. Bog all! In fact if any thing, itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s possible got worse. Now we have karaoke on a Sunday as well...

maureen mclaughlin

Porty, re the jet skies. No itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s just the same, It just depends if itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a nice day or not. If itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a nice day then there out in force if not there not usually any. A few weeks ago one off the skiers drove his van up to the water then went away on his jet ski. When he came back t...

maureen mclaughlin

Dadaist, brilliant as usual. I bet before they suspended you, you were allowed to meet to discuss the issues why. Or did they just invite a few of your friends and teachers to talk for you. Cause obviously thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the best way to mange and communication.
Maureen

maureen mclaughlin

It was thumper and as stated earlier, I didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t move in to the flat 13yr ago and not expecting to hear noise act. The pub has had a number of licences over this period and I have never had any cause to complain over the proceeding 13 yr. In fact I was none in the past to have the odd pint ther...

maureen mclaughlin

How IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m I meant to know what effort you have went to when to. I was not allowed to attend the meeting. Either way IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m in a win win situation. As either IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m proven Wright which is the worst win or the licensee doses stop the loud music which is the best win. I think you forgot to...

maureen mclaughlin

If the meeting with Punch pubs has brought about positive changes then that's great. However I wish to point out a number of concerns that I continue to have, as to why I don't think you should be slapping each other on the backs just yet. It is noted that the licensee is very experienced. However e...

maureen mclaughlin

That great! But how come I can hear music in my house from the Tides Inn.

maureen mclaughlin

Pal of porty, you are absolutely correct! I have live in KingÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Road for 13 yr, from the out set I was aware that you canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t live above a pub and not expect some noise on occasions. During my 13yr I have never have cause to complain about noise, so it would seam that over the past 13yr ...

maureen mclaughlin

Pal of porty, thanks.

I would be delighted with 1 or 4, mainly as neither mention having second rate club singers, karaoke or disco nights.
I wouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t frequent it right enough but could easily live with it.
I have to say on Saturday night the woman who sang Ã¢â‚¬Å“I will surviveÃ¢â‚¬Â

maureen mclaughlin

Ta very much, thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s really helpful, believe it or not Brodie has went of chicken, salmon and tuna his all time favourites and Bettie who odours cheese although given in moderation, has stopped eating it.

Nothing quite as strange as cats.
Fab animals.

Pal of Porty. ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Priceless, any way were fussy about what we stuff in our ears, its nothing less that the Porty reporter, although after weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve read of course.

Could you tell me how to get hold of this socially conscious document?
Maureen

maureen mclaughlin

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve noticed that there are a lot off cat owners and cat lovers in the forum, so I was wondering if any of you could help me. I have two 13 yr old moggies called Tides and Inn, only joking! Brodie and Bettie both hail and hearty. However, they appear to be going off there food even there favo...

maureen mclaughlin

Gemini, you really made me smile,

I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know who you have been talking to or if indeed its complement, however they are correct

Beach Babe, thanks for the support. This means a lot. $\:D/$ .

Oh I'm sorry! I assumed that this posting was to gather information relating to views about Punch Pubs. I didn't realise that replies were only to be positive, relating to what the community would wish Punch Pubs to provide in two years or so. I hesitate to point out that this subject has all ready ...

maureen mclaughlin

Brian, I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know if you know how offensive and patronising you came over as. To even suggest that we would not have contacted the licence is ridicules. They were advised by letter with in the fist week of opening. This was neither acknowledged nor responded to. The use of the term the big ...
