Peter Burgess said:It aint so simple, possibly. There is more than one way to secure access. The contention is over which is the best way - hard graft by working with owners on a case by case basis, or using a blanket perceived right to do so. And even then, there's a great deal more subtlety to either approach. You are right - we all want access, but there is a fundamental philosophical difference between the two approaches. This is why the matter is so divisive. It is extremely unusual for people to take a totally different philosophy on board from the one we have grown up with. It may just be the way each of us is made.
There does appear to be a philosophy down south totally different to that up north. But I don't think anybody is expecting "people to take a totally different philosophy on board from the one we [you] have grown up with". I think all anybody is expecting is for the consideration of the idea that it might be possible to cope with two padlocks being replaced with two bolts or do a bit of paperwork to legally retain your padlocks.
Let's get things into proportion.
