    Precis - no whinging it's as hard to read as it would be to watch!

    The battle against the bulldozer.
    Opening scene was Salford: Evicting people and saying they will remove the door and carry people out of their homes
    Cut to random teasers:

    ...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

    Pathfinder is a 15 year project, just 7 years in, transitional problems
    Vast majority of those have benefitted, that's little help for those that have suffered

    Musta taken you a while to type all that. You need a boyfriend babe? ;)

    There you are none of you needed to watch it at all. A better job has been done on the board.

    Bl***y h*ll Pastures. How d'you do it. :D

    I did miss a couple of sentences and the numbers because the noise of the keyboard clattering drowned out the telly.

    But that's 99% of it.

    As for "how" ... because I'm good at transcription.
    :)

    Even while lying almost flat out here on the sofa, in the dark, with the keyboard at an angle.

    Not much longer than to watch it.
    I typed what I heard, then just scanned it to check and tidy it up a bit where I'd left a couple of sentences hanging. Then that was it.
    You can see it wasn't much longer than the programme from the time of my posting.

    It's funny how what was basic common sense to any normal person ie better/cheaper to renovate existing properties that have stood the test of time and retain communities, is apparently rocket science to the govt.

    Close and sustainable communities with good local services and common aspirations is the last thing the government wants.

    A Fractured and debt-ridden ridden society with everyone out for themselves is easier to control.
