Mr Nixon and his all do adorable wife.

I couldn't keep quiet but I waited to they left the church area. Wasn't threatening in any way whatsoever.

I asked why they treat Lapping with utter contempt, to be told by his wife????? That they weren't nasty to Andrew and that we don't know Andrew. I was with my partner that knows Andrew very well and this certainly ain't the case.

All answers to my questions again not threatening were answered by his wife apart from the one where I asked why he contacted my work where he decided to talk down like I was an 8 year old but gave no answer.

All in all a very strange moment and once I finished and he went in markes someone else was having more of a go.

To stretch the analogy, if you also refused to answer any questions about the issue, then perhaps you wouldn't be suprised to have questions asked if you bumped into that client out and about?

No I agree I didn't want to say anything by the church but it wasn't by the church I said something.

I sore them again by marks n Spencer's. I wasn't threatening if I was I could clearly understand they reaction. I was simply asking questions in the same tone id ask someone what the weather was like.

It was his wife's reaction that these questions were something they weren't going to answer. She even said I didn't know who Andrew Lapping was????

Threatening abuse no, throwing arms about no and swearing no but asking questions in a civilised manner I don't see an issue with.

If I seen the bloke who sent my boss emails about me outside M&S; then I too would feel that I was in the right to question them about it for an explanation - whether I like the answers I got or not.

If he was a coward and denied it then the conversation would take a different tone.

I don't know what makes Nixon think that he is above everyone else and that he is allowed to live by different rules.

Perhaps a few Biblical puns would have lightened the mood of this churchyard encounter. Couldn't you have asked Nixon to "feed the five thousand" with a few more scraps of information about the big Billionaire in the sky or something?

You raise some valid points re the election but for someone who doesn't care any more to lurk around the cathedral in the hope of seeing Nixon borders on insanity.

Do me a favour, can you point out where AL stated he was going to put any of his personal money into the club?

As has been repeated ad naseum, he intended to produce a prospectus in order to raise the money from local business and introduce some modern business practises (obviously suggestions which the current board agreed where required considering they've been lifted wholesale).

Still, it's not an issue now, the board have managed to bring in £800k from Potts and Dempsey and a good £200k from the Liverpool game - a nice healthy £1m swilling in the coffers. I guess we can look forward to some investment in a defence and maybe, even, completing the East Stand so we're eligible for grants once again?.........I won't hold my breath.

Entirely wrong

I bumped into them at the cathedral wouldn't say anything apart from smile and get a funny look. It was only outside marks that I asked the
Questions. Yes I'm obsessed aren't we all.

If I wanted to lurk and look for Nixon id do it at Brunton Park or his house. No I wouldn't do that.
