00:00
So gents we're just down here at the site of the old famous crooked house
00:04
six months old, can you believe it's six months?
00:07
It has isn't it?
00:09
Where are we at with it then gents?
00:12
I mean you know some people might be thinking well it's six months
00:15
so there ain't nothing happening and that means it ain't never going to be built
00:19
and that, is that the case? What's the deal?
00:21
We're tied by the waiting for the legal case really
00:25
we've got a legal case that's going on
00:27
nothing much can happen until that's completed
00:30
we knew right from the start that this was going to be a long wait
00:34
while we waited for things to happen
00:36
there are some people getting a little bit sort of tired of waiting
00:40
but six months is a very short time
00:43
the Carlton Tavern in London took six years before that was rebuilt
00:47
and that went through a similar sort of process
00:50
so we're just waiting for things to happen
00:53
and we're just trying to keep things in the public eye in between now and then
00:56
and in terms of the legal case I don't suppose there's any police
01:00
they don't particularly say oh yeah it should be this length of time, that length of time
01:04
it doesn't work like that does it?
01:05
They've given us no indication as to exactly what's happening in terms of that
01:09
that's a very closed book and obviously we don't expect them to start telling us stuff
01:14
or broadcasting things
01:16
we get one shot at the legal element of it
01:22
so I don't blame them for keeping the cards close to the chest
01:25
so the hope is that there will be a forced rebuild
01:29
that's kind of the hope is it?
01:31
is that where we're pinning all our hopes?
01:33
That's not a hope, that is the ultimate aim
01:36
there's no hope in this, that's what we're fighting for
01:38
that's what we're all battling for
01:41
the group and the community, that's what we want
01:45
and tomorrow, special event marking the six months
01:48
what's happening tomorrow?
01:50
tomorrow we're asking people to put memory tags on a virtual tree that we've got
01:56
they can either write out their tags or we could have printed them in advance
02:02
and we'll be putting them on the virtual tree for people to look at
02:06
people to gather, people to have a chat about their memories and their feelings about the crooked house
02:11
there'll be some refreshments, some hot and cold drinks and some snacks
02:17
no beer?
02:19
no, definitely no beer
02:21
and then we've got somebody who's going to be doing some videos of people
02:26
and somebody else is going to be handing out postcards of his artwork
02:30
which has been working hard on the last few weeks
02:33
and that'll be all gathering up just by the main road and the sign there won't it?
02:36
10 o'clock onwards?
02:37
10 o'clock until 3 yes
02:39
hope to see you all there
02:40
great stuff, cheers gents
