Blame council, not Thandi brothers, over Castle Hill

I am so sorry for your loss... and so taken by the fact you still have strength to warn others! I send you all my love and hugs. Woody Allen film director, Trevino, golfer, Bette Midler and actress, Gilbert O’Sullivan, singer, Stephen Poliakoff, playwright, Charlene Tilton, actress, Jeremy Northam, actor, Sarah Silverman, comedian and actress, Janelle Monae, musician, I WRITE with regard to the comments made by David Gill, of Waterloo, in which he stated that the Thandi brothers –Mick and Barry – ‘had their chance and they blew it.’

No it was not the Thandi Bros who ‘blew it’ as the remark states, more like Kirklees Council in there infinite wisdom on ‘planning.’

They refused to accept what had been submitted – so the replacement building to the original Castle Hill pub was oversized and the Thandis were told that they had not kept to the planning directives.

So, as it happened, the building was removed, as I presume to alter it accordingly to fit in with the directives of the Kirklees planners would probably have been unworkable for those involved with the construction.

Now we come to another application by the brothers – apparently a ‘grand design’’ – obviously different.

But it has been created from a professional view with due consideration of what ‘they’ (the architects) have been asked to do – to ‘create,’ from whatever directives were supplied. CONSULTANTS pushing mindset coaching (Kirklees Business, November 29) towards an inquisitive audience should be mindful of their promotional jargon.

Moving from a ‘one size fits all’ style of coaching to an approach tailored from many sources would – at the outset of any coaching session – somehow have to embrace dozens of unknown personalities and problems hidden within a unique audience.

And despite borrowing ideas and diagrams from across the business world this still seems to be a one style fits many approach.

Admittedly, if the audience’s main concern is ending the session promptly rather than the session’s content, then we don’t have an issue ... apart from the immovable deadline of Xmas shopping. I SEE from the Examiner that Mr Sheerman admits that the people of Huddersfield voted to leave the EU, but he still pontificates that he knows best and that we don’t understand.

Well Mr Sheerman I do. History has proved that all empires fail and crumble, emperors, dictators and despots come and go.

The will of the people eventually wins through.

And when the EU crumbles and fails like all the rest, our descendants will thank us for having the common sense to leave.
