A grid of boring offices and an underground road is going to make things even worse!<BR/><BR/>Yes, the car park could be anywhere, but the point is that it's an open space (much needed) retaining the 'feel' of the Esplanade, and despite being just a car park with greenery, there are views of things that are very definitely Jersey - remaining old buildings, the avenue, the Fort, etc. That's why I say it feels Jersey enough. <BR/><BR/>If you stand there and look around, you KNOW you're in Jersey, even if you have to look to the distance and ignore the immediate surroundings. At least the Jerseyness is there if you look!<BR/><BR/>Anon :<BR/>I published your comments to show I don't censor unless I have to.<BR/>Thanks for your viewpoint, you're welcome to it, just as I'm welcome to believe it's amusing how someone would spend time commenting when they think so little of the blog. Would some snotty kid bother? ... I can understand why people wonder if The Establishment (or even professional spin doctors) are involved in trying to rubbish The People's attempts to have a voice!crapaudmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692668436150329927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095161228384197515.post-81395550158574825792008-06-19T11:31:00.000+01:002008-06-19T11:31:00.000+01:00another loser doin a blog.get a life wake up and s...another loser doin a blog.<BR/>get a life wake up and smell the future cos it aint yoursAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095161228384197515.post-59799653069291590232008-06-19T01:18:00.000+01:002008-06-19T01:18:00.000+01:00The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb when v...The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb when viewing the Waterfront area in your snapshot form, is just how there's nothing "Jersey" about it. <BR/><BR/>Infact, the majority of the pictures could have been taken somewhere like Birmingham or Coventry. A couple of them remind me very much of Crawley. <BR/><BR/>The only section pictured which has a uniqueness and a bit of character about it is the 'historic sea wall'..and that's wallowing in a sea of concrete today!<BR/><BR/>I simply despair at what a completely wasted opportunity the Waterfront turned out to be....and it's not even finished yet.A Holiday In The Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745670741265498584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095161228384197515.post-53839216216513403382008-06-18T14:31:00.000+01:002008-06-18T14:31:00.000+01:00I likes the pics too.

Can't have newcomers who haven't proved themselves, can we? That's the way it's always been.<BR/><BR/>There are too many people too keen to keep things as they are, despite the shortcomings. Don't rock the boat, etc.<BR/><BR/>That's why I believe that voting is largely a waste of time - why vote for personalities when you never quite know what direction they'll take on future issues? Plus, I can only vote for 12 senators, 1 deputy and a constable - out of 53! If we had parties, that wouldn't matter so much, but with independents... what difference can my voting really make?<BR/><BR/>I believe it's better to devote efforts to specific issues - a well organised pressure group can achieve thigns out of all proportion to their conventional voting power. I shall continue to voice my opinions to anyone willing to listen... just in case someone actually does :o)crapaudmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692668436150329927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095161228384197515.post-34818908975120592112008-06-18T13:34:00.000+01:002008-06-18T13:34:00.000+01:00Some great photo's on your blog and equally great ...Some great photo's on your blog and equally great idea's.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, like most of us, do you get the feeling you might be pis-i-g into the wind?<BR/><BR/>You are correct with the £ signs in their eyes. This goverment won't be happy until they've stripped Jersey of all it's natural beauty and made a fortune out of it. They will then retire to a nice warm climate somewhere whilst me, you, our kids and our grandchildren suffer the effects of their raping and piliging of our once beutiful island.<BR/><BR/>We owe it to our future generations to stop this bunch, We must all get to the ballot boxes or we are as much to blame as they are.<BR/><BR/>I don't relish the prospect of a granchild of mine in the future asking me "howcome the goverment were allowed to do this to Jersey"?<BR/>And having to tell them "because they could, nobody exercised their democratic right and voted"voiceforchildrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825129148579102037noreply@blogger.com
