Facebook local page has been going mental. Do you want screenshots?

Would I have to remove everyone's Facebook names?

Wow, a real live Lechladian has joined the thread.

Strokethefurrywall · 06/09/2018 23:07

That is fantastic. I almost felt like chiming in at the end!

Hello, AMA!

Amanda

ActuallyAmanda · 07/09/2018 00:09

Really? No one?

I can tell you all about the cottage company and everything... Bloody non locals.

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 07/09/2018 00:30

Roger from the Co-op for Mayor

NicoAndTheNiners · 07/09/2018 06:47

Go on Amanda, I want to know all about the cottage company and if they definitely own the lane.

Have you just joined MN due to this thread?

Do you feel sorry for the person in the house with yellow lines outside who now has nowhere to park.

Anastassiabeaverhausen · 07/09/2018 06:49

Amanda how busy is the Christmas Shop in say, March?

DBN1 · 07/09/2018 07:08

Amanda Is the Co-Op manager as much of an arsehole as people are saying? Or is he just a misunderstood pussycat? Grin

LittleBookofCalm · 07/09/2018 07:09

Amanda what about the co op, would you boycot it, in favour of Londis and/or the garage?

ActuallyAmanda · 07/09/2018 07:10

We definitely own the lane Grin

It's a bit complicated, but all the cottages, and the street, and the lane, and some other bits were owned by
one person, they got repossessed and split into lots of 1 cottage +garden, but that left the land. The receivers set up a company that was to manage all that, that we had to take on once the last cottage sold.

No, just name changed

ActuallyAmanda · 07/09/2018 07:14

Yes, but he was very rude.

I expect there will be spaces left over, but at the moment we can't tell who's car is whos and the lane was rammed and sometimes impassable.

Suprisingly so, there's always someone coming out with a bag of sparkly goodies.

ActuallyAmanda · 07/09/2018 07:22

The Co op manager sounds HORRIBLE.

I have already boycotted, but also I never go that way so always use the Londis anyway, which has lovely friendly staff

Harrykanesrightsock · 07/09/2018 07:32

Just adding our village gem, a chap posted a photo of a message left on his car from someone who offered to help him in his troubled times as they noticed how often his car was parked at the pub.

DBN1 · 07/09/2018 07:39

Harrykanesrightsock Hilarious! Grin Did he take them up on the kind offer? WinkGrin

DBN1 · 07/09/2018 07:40

Amanda Yes, stick with Londis! Grin
I'd love to visit the Christmas Shop, any time of year [santa]

ActuallyAmanda · 07/09/2018 07:48

DBN it's a lovely little town, I'm really glad we moved here, lane and all. Come and visit. Vera's Kitchen has beautiful rooms I'm told.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 07/09/2018 08:37

@bunintheoven88 I was gonna say there was a funny smell in maghull on tuesday :p

ActuallyAmanda · 07/09/2018 08:43

The Lechlade smell seems to have gone, for anyone wondering Grin

CliveIsAlive · 07/09/2018 11:13

Hello Amanda! Isn't this funny. I hope the lane problem gets sorted quickly. I'm further down the village towards the garden centre so no fun lane issues for me :(

Figmentofimagination · 07/09/2018 12:19

YouAlwaysTry! That woman is crackers! Shock I understand her motives behind it, he shouldn't have parked over her dropped kerb, but that is not the way to go about it!
