lee its a biker thing for me....irmscher wrote:Cheeky Les better than the Grebo smellys and there petulia oil
I think, in the days before everyone had cars, & particularly in cities, the scooter was a means of getting say to the local dance while still being dressed up and not getting covered in oil. Nowadays motorbikes are clean and reliable but the scene stuck anyway.samuria wrote:lee its a biker thing for me....irmscher wrote:Cheeky Les better than the Grebo smellys and there petulia oil

There have been several threats of legal action from traders in the past, albeit AFAIK (and I'm not on the MMOC comittee etc) there have been no threats of action in the last 2/3 years. Its much easier for a company to target a club than an individual who runs/owns a forum! And... despite what a lot of you seem to think mods don't know any more about whats happening at higher levels in the club than anyone else. We are just normal members who have an additional role! I have no more idea about whats happening in Derby than any other member.moggyman64 wrote:Oh and one other thing please stop using the phrase" we could be sued by traders" do the powers to be realise how ridiculous that sounds, maybe they could reinforce their case of why the state this by listing all the court cases that have been brought against the club.

I will take a guess here and surmise that traders see the club as a viable target on the grounds that the club can be prosecuted for publishing negative comments (slurs) against a company / trader (however well founded they are sometimes), whereas an individual can (quite rightly) claim to be expressing an opinion and there's not a lot they can do about it, especially if it hasn't been set down in print.There have been several threats of legal action from traders in the past, albeit AFAIK (and I'm not on the MMOC comittee etc) there have been no threats of action in the last 2/3 years.

simple research is all that you need -I found this explanation via google on 1st attempt:maybe they could reinforce their case of why the state this by listing all the court cases that have been brought against the club.
