Well so much for 'Southern Hospitality'.
Is this what the people of the previous Warringah are really like?
Showing their true colours now, aren't they after the forced amalgamation.
The Southerners are at it again, they just can’t help themselves.
Check out the latest attack on their Northern neighbours, Pittwater People.
We don’t recall any negative, bully type of comments from residents of Pittwater attacking residents of the old Warringah Council area in this way.
What is with this mob, do they really dislike ‘Pittwater People’ so much?

ELECTION MOAN FROM SNUBBED CANDIDATE
Look past the smoke, Fred. to what's offered
FRED Johanson, I’m so sorry that your and other former Pittwater residents’ feelings are red hot — “seething and smouldering” (Your say, May 23). Perhaps it’s the smoke that's blurring your vision and acceptance. What a shame.
I am very aware of the thriving and fantastic artistic community in the former Pittwater area.
But are you aware, Fred, that $1 million from the amalgamation saving fund has been allocated for a new creative space in Avalon?
Thinking about it, if you feel your creative community is well served and wouldn’t welcome a new studio, exhibition space, then you may suggest to the Northern Beaches Council that the $1 million be reallocated to a new creative space for artists south of your “insular peninsula”.

Splendid isolation
ONE must feel sorry for some of the poor folk living north of the Narrabeen bridge.
They are blessed with one of the most picturesque places on the Planet. It is sort of isolated and not subject to through traffic, but that is what some of the goodfolk north of the Narrabeen bridge want.
They don’t really want to be disturbed by “those other people from the south” especially with the prospect of more eficient transport proposals. Moreover, the place was run superbly, run at profit and with a great deal of care and protection for both the arts and the environment.
This treasured lifestyle was why they broke away in the first place.
And now they are “seething” at being forced to associate with the southern horde and are taking urgent steps to not be associated. All that they had fought for will be taken away and they will be lumped with another class of people from the south.
