Liar. Here it is. Again.

I haven't mentioned it.

How obvious is that!

However, the examples of sustainable urban regeneration in Liverpool
and Glasgow which I provided, proves without doubt that what you claim
to have been the first to mention, the first to promote, and the first
to do, were all being done long before you came down from the attic in
93.
I chose those particular instances of sustainable urban regeneration
because it's a gardening group. Of course, as any planner (and visiting
gardener) would know, neither project was just about gardening..both
were about the very things you purport to be deeply involved in. How
strange you don't know the recent, very local history of your supposed
field of expertise.
