    Ever since you started accusing me, carolt and posh*spice of being the same person a couple of days back, the accusations of sock-puppetry have escalated through the board.

    I'm sure you can be proud of the trend you have set.

    Actually I said that "there were rumours several weeks ago that !!!!!!? has multiple usernames, but I was doubtful because why on earth anyone would bother but after being 'attacked' by !!!!!!? and a LOT of newbies I'd never heard of, I was suspicious that the rumours were true".

    I noticed you're always quick to spread rumours about me !!!!!!?. I'd also point out that I had been avoiding you for a long time, yet you keep jumping on me whenever I reply to carolt. If you don't want to get involved in 'rumbles' then don't initiate them...

    As a final retort, you're always on your high horse about 'thread hijacking', yet your crony "ad44downey" has done it on this one and you have as well. I'm just here defending myself, I didn't initiate any of this.

    I love the way you always try to come across as the innocent. I'd look at your behavour and ask yourself if you're culpable. I'm more than happy to go back to ignoring you again, but I won't allow your digs to go unanswered. If you really don't want off-topic or personal 'argie-bargie' !!!!!!? leave me alone and I'll reciprocate. It's that simple.

    You won't be able to obviously, because a man (or are you a woman?) who trawls through old posts and stalks someone across the MSE forums is way too obsessed to be able to just let it go.

    Here's your chance to prove me wrong though....

    does anyone know what Banstead is like I have a friend who wants to live there?

    I'm sorry - I missed your post,

    Banstead is a lovely part of Surrey. There's lots of large detached houses in quiet tree lined roads and as it's so green there the gardens are usually enormous and incredibly beautiful.

    Most people who live there are professionals and it's common to see Bentley's, Ferrari's etc driving down the High Street. The High Street has the obligatory Waitrose and M&S food store. There's some lovely specialist food shops and some great boutiques. There's a few fabulous Italian and French restaurants there, and a lovely pub - The Mint - set down one of the country lanes which is very olde worlde and has little orange carriage lamps lit up at night. The food there is excellent, and it has a log fire, cosy seating etc...

    There's livery stables in Banstead, plus a golf course and a couple of farm shops which sell their own home-grown organic fruit and veg, and real free-range eggs.

    It's a very peaceful green part of England and being high up it has wonderful views of London in the distance from some of its roads. Central London is half an hour away so you can see the appeal for commuters.

    I'm sure your friend will fall in love with the place.

    Oh, So you didn't say this then?

    p.s. I'm so convinced that carolt and !!!!!! are 'two cheeks of the same ar se', that I'll refer to them as 'carolt/!!!!!!' from now on, in a similar way that the loyalists used to say 'Sinnfein/IRA' to remind people that they were the same organisation.

    :rolleyes:

    You're getting slow in going back and deleting/editing your posts though, it's still there after 2 days.....

    I'm not even going to comment on the rest of your paranoid post. I will notice that you are once again making an effort to make pleasant posts today so I can only conclude that you are winding yourself up for another nasty bout of personal baiting.

    Sorry, I don't think I posted the link properly.

    By the way - these are the gen prices for 4 beds - not 5

    Original price 870k now down to 840k
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    It's ok, don't get your knickers in a knot. There are lots of people here that think you are an idiot and hardly any of us have bothered to engage you on a thread. :)

    I am interested to know why you think he is an idiot...I also want the members who thanked you for calling him an idiot to explain why they also agree with you?

    Hi Sue,

    That was the original point I was making: the nice properties are only dropping marginally.

    The house we're referring to has only dropped 3.5%.
  • does anyone know what Banstead is like I have a friend who wants to live there?

    Very nice, in a stifling stockbroker belt kind of way. Lovely if that's your cup of tea.
