I'm sure you should get some compensation (again) last time I thing it was architects wasn't it?

Bri Roberts · « **Reply #150 on:** November 17, 2011, 03:08:00 PM »

DaveR, I suggest you immediately send an e-mail to the Editor seeking an early explanation.

Please let us know how you get on.

Sue them! In fact save the Legal Fees, just send them an invoice for £1,000.00 or whatever you think is reasonable!

If you use my advice I will bill you accordingly!

Believe it or not, this is not as stupid as it sounds. An actor friend of mine, sends an invoice to the relevant production company whenever he appears in a clip show of some kind. He always gets paid

Stick an invoice up their jacksie mate... its outrageous, and laziness on their part.

£1000 for the infringement, and £1000 for the theft of intellectual property.

Its outrageous, quite a few things have been outrageous today. I'm off to 'Niggles' to tell you ALL about it.

DaveR · « **Reply #153 on:** November 17, 2011, 07:26:43 PM »

I have emailed the Editor and await his response.

Your communication will probably finish up in the Readers' Letters section!

Becareful Dave, going by the four full pages in there today i think a certain gentleman must have bought the paper ,only buissness not advertised seems to be the Baytree.

DaveR · « **Reply #156 on:** November 17, 2011, 09:47:55 PM »

Half of the Baytree is up for sale.

I was very annoyed to see that my photo of the Torchlight Parade in Conwy has appeared on page 10 of this week's Weekly News. This is a copyright image and no-one has sought my permission to use it in a publication or paid me for the use of it.

This matter has now been resolved. It turned out that the Weekly News acted in good faith and were passed the photo from a third party who was obviously not conversant with copyright issues. I shall not name them on here to spare their blushes!

Congratulations to Judith Phillips for her long service to the Community by way of her articles for the NWWN!

No - I think Judith has worked long and hard over the years. She has done what her Editor and the publisher have required. 50 years of working for that outfit deserves a medal let alone a few lines of congratulations!

Without her there would not be much of a paper, or should I say even less than there is!

DaveR · « **Reply #162 on:** November 24, 2011, 01:51:34 PM »

I like to buy the Weekly News, as much to support it as a local newspaper than anything else. But, I have to say it's becoming a struggle to justify the 77p. I read this week's copy in 5 minutes flat - it seems to be all soft 'human interest' stories than any real local news.

Sorry but i think Judith is as bad a reporter as the rest of them. Twice I had to contact the paper regarding what Judith had written off the back of press releases given by the council with no consultation with myself her excuse she couldn't contact me, what a pile of drivel when you consider opening hrs were 11am till 11pm. nah sorry the reason she's been there for 50yrs is a pay packet every month for basically doing naff all to do with local reporting.

Yorkie · « **Reply #165 on:** November 24, 2011, 06:42:09 PM »

Sorry to hear of your experience - but at least you haven't had your phone tapped, your dustbin searched, notes in your childrens satchels, been hounded by reporters or had photographers following you and your family's every move!

The NWWN and TM Group do have a complaints proceedure or there is always the Press Complaints Commission.

I had a similar problem with a Llandudno Town Council statement given to the NWWN and my complaint was dealt with very effectively and efficiently by Judith and Steve Stratford. Not so by the Town Council.

Pendragon · « **Reply #166 on:** November 24, 2011, 06:44:38 PM »

Hmm all I got was a tiny little apology in the paper.

DaveR · « **Reply #167 on:** December 22, 2011, 02:30:44 PM »

The front page NWWN photo this week of snow on the prom appears to date from the 1970s or early 80s, as the lamposts have not been painted white for many years...

Bri Roberts · « **Reply #168 on:** December 22, 2011, 03:18:23 PM »

Be thankful, DaveR, they have not 'borrowed' one of yours again

DaveR · « **Reply #169 on:** December 22, 2011, 09:54:22 PM »

Indeed, Bri!

I wonder how many people noticed the fake letter in the NWWN this week? How did they allow 'Oscar Roberts' to get through their checking procedure? Or do they even have a checking procedure?

Yorkie · « **Reply #170 on:** December 24, 2011, 12:14:39 PM »

Ask Judith??

Does it have some numbers in the title? That's my first guess anyway.

No letter is published unless a bona fide name and address are supplied.

Excellent observation skills, DaveR.

It was taken in 1982 by Gareth Pritchard.

As confirmed today in flashBACK on page 26 of the Daily Post.
