Tangmere & sour grapes

Damien – I bear no resentful grudge or sour grapes against the museum or, really, the people that now run it. There is nobody there now who was involved with me at day one, and nobody, really, who started the protracted legal hassles. Rather, those there now saw a bit of sense and realised that there needed to be a resolution. To that end an agreement was settled upon, including costs, and this was embodied into an enforceable court order. All very regretable, but now its time to move on. Sadly, it cost the museum dearly in terms of money and lost exhibits when the status quo could have been maintained, the Trust would have had lots more cash in the bank and all the exhibits could have stayed under a proper agreement but sadly things got way way beyond that possibility. As for the posting by XTANGOMIKE (not me!) what he said was correct but you misunderstand. This dispute dates back many many years. When it began the runway was still there…and before then there were very REAL possibilities of making Tangmere a rather different place. But that is now history, sadly. When I can be bothered I will add a posting to clarify one or two things that have not been clarified or corrected yet. Lets just say there is an awful lot of supposition and putting together two and two and coming up with eleventythree. That can be very damaging and offensive and is a terminal bore, really.
