    Thank you Tanja!!

    Philip may ignore me but at least he had the courtesy to respond to your enquiry.

    Hi Philip,

    Yes I have understood that you have been on vacation. I do hope you enjoyed it. Mine has just started today.

    But can you tell a bit more? Will the sign be in place before the commerations?


    Greetings

    It's quite disconcerting that you now appear to be unwilling, or perhaps unable, to answer Tanja's question as well. Once again I see that you have been on the forum today, posting inane comments, but choose to ignore this important question.
    I believe that it's not an unreasonable question to ask. After all if you look at your initial post on this subject you stated that these items (fencing and plaque) would be in place "By September". Your post of the 24th July (shortly before you went on your holiday) confirmed this timetable. However September is now with us with no sign of the plaque and you will not answer a simple question to say when, or perhaps more importantly, whether it will be ready.

    You were quite happy to ask for and accept our donations in order that this project could get off the ground - I think it's only reasonable that you answer this simple question from those that contributed.

    If I'm right, someone else is working on it and maybe Philip is waithing for his call before Philip can say the exact date.

    Thanks but why do others have to respond on Philip's behalf. After all it wouldn't have taken much for him to respond with this information would it? To just ignore reasonable requests for information must lead to conjecture that something is wrong. Perhaps Philip will now respond and provide the update that has been requested.

    Hallo Philip,

    Would you please be so kind to answer my question!

    If there is any delay or if there is a problem Then do share it?
    These things happen and is not something to be a shamed of.

    Not answering on John or my questions is just not fair.

    Greetings

    Hello John,

    I understand your point.
    I'm not respond on Philips behalf.
    I only said what I was thinking.
    I think he answer the questions when he knows the answer.
    I haven't spoke Philip so I'm not sure.

    Hi Ramon,

    This could be a very good reason.
    And if it came of Philip than I would wait a while before asking again.
    I would understand this.

    But I gave a donation (like others) and so I believe I do have a surten right to be informed if this sign is not in place in september.

    Greetings

    You are correct Ramon, but usual as some people seems to get eyecaps on, when my name is involved in something and hope it all blows up!, If I am correct when started this topic, it is said that it was a plan of myself and Jeroen Niels, and the money for this project was send to Jeroen, so yes, we work on this together, good reading Ramon :)


    Jeroen went on holiday Friday, and has order the plaque, the company has promised to get it ready in time and lets hope they do so, Jeroen has promised me to keep update, so when and if I hear something I will post this.

    Tandem!! This could have been resolved quite simply by responding to my initial question. As regards blinkers it would appear that it is you that wears them if I post a question.
    I look forward to hearing from you when the plaque is in place.
