Graham Davis Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Having read some of the posts on The Pillings Lock facebook page, I get the impression that some people don't understand the situation, or are indeed burying their heads in the sand! Ms Pepper is obviously a fan of Winston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwacker Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 This thread is a public service imo. It's a unbiased publication/discussion of a developing situation which could leave a lot of fellow boaters in a right old pickle. Compelling reading, but mostly based on zero facts.

carpet wallah Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Ah, I did miss it then, somewhere in the 1,000 odd posts here! The most offensive comment in that area, that I have noticed, came from none other than PL himself in his Facebook rant.

Graham Davis Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I wonder how many other profiles MrPL has been visiting here? He visited mine at 1235 on 23/01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanS Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think a huge positive may have been ignored. IF 300 boats are stuck inside the marina when it gets disconnected from the cut, then the water in the marina may at some point dry up, leaving all the boats high and dry. Everyone could then easily black their hulls, sharing paintbrushes, and advice, in the largest community blacking project ever. They may get themselves in the Guinness book of records, and eventually when the legal side is all sorted and water is returned to the marina, they would all have saved about £300 in crane out fees. Thats a savings of £90 000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Visited me too I suspect he'll visit all who have posted I can see the last five peeps who have visited my profile, and I'm very popular at the moment - all five visited this afternoon or this evening! How do I look back beyond the last five visitors to see if/when Mr Lillie inspected my profile? MtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark99 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Compelling reading, but mostly based on zero facts. What happens to the boaters locked in after the piling and their subs?. That's the essential message I have taken from this. I agree the rest is mainly flotsum and jestom Edited January 25, 2014 by mark99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FadeToScarlet Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 You may have missed it, but there was a passing swipe at his (alleged) sexuality - something not to be condoned and really should be exorcised by the mods. On the other hand with the degree of friction between the offending poster and PL perhaps it is just a case of understandably lashing out with whatever weapon is to hand. I have edited some, did I miss one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknorman Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have edited some, did I miss one? I reported it, recently. It is still there at the moment, though fairly minor in the great scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George94 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Mr Lilley is clearly a man whose grasp on reality is tenuous at the best of times. He now stands to lose everything. The chance that he might take the law into his own hands cannot be ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB I really don't know Mike, but I reckon you might have been one of the first on his visiting list going by your popularity list though he's ancient history by now I entered the debate much later pillingslock 23 Jan 2014 - 12:53 He's top of my list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadeToScarlet Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I reported it, recently. It is still there at the moment, though fairly minor in the great scheme of things. Ah, yes, done it now, thanks. So far people have kept very on topic and relevant on what is a contentious topic, which is very good; as has been said, sexuality has no bearing on anything discussed here, or in other threads.

Interesting you think the same... MtB not pilingsmoorer if that's who you mean. I still think he's is legit But to get things back on a business track, I was wondering the reason behind the "lease a car parking space & get a mooring free" structure...

DHutch Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 As an update from myself following the post earlier, I can indeed confirm there there has been some communication between myself, Paul Lillie and others, which I have shared with the other site staff as and where appropriate. We have responded in what we feel is the correct manner. We do not intend to elaborate further on the details such as to unnecessarily complicated the dealings, and we're confident members will understand this.
