How long you lived here?
Let me tell you a story of some people who went over there taking pictures. The people working for Westin took out a camera and started taking pictures of THEM.
Now why would they do that?
You think it's so they can identify the 'troublemakers'? You think these people are nice people? You think Roy, Tochie, Frankie, etc. are nice people?
You are quite right, it should be simple to go and take pictures, measurements etc and get the facts verified. But you know what, first of all I don't want to have my car hit in some bizarre accident with a dump truck, nor do I want Rednecks or Thugs knocking on my door in the middle of the night.
You know why they media hasn't covered this? Because they are afraid. I'm not speculating with this statement.
Besides, it is not my job. It is the job of VROM, Kadaster, ROB and govt departments to be checking on these things. Isn't it?
(As for the copywrite photos, I linked them from their site and also put a link to their site encouraging people to go and look at many more. If they have any sense they will be happy for the traffic, if not then I'm sure they will let me know and I will remove them, and the link to their site of course. )
