[knopfling]

This interested me in that I didn't know John lived close to MK.

If my info are correct John owns (or owned) shares in The Master Builder's hotel in Beaulieu.

I slept there in 2002 (guess why  ), costly but very nice. Good restaurant

Perhaps this reporter uses the same reporters "sources" that apparently claim Dire Straits are very much still together and playing.....or is that "The Straits"......

Found this when I was being nosey and digging around on the house story.

Apparently, Mark lives somewhere in this area:

It's almost scary what sort of private information you can find online, even if it's not made available directly. That Newforest government link gives you almost exact address. Not very wise IMO.

[Love Expresso]

Yes, Kooba, that was exactly my feeling. I feel uncomfortable with having these "delicate" or "sensible" information made available in our forum.
What do you think of erase that link? Of course freedom of speech and all that stuff bla bla, but hey, it is somehow a very thin line isn't it..
We are urged to only use "nicks at all times" and not use real names of members on here, but putting a private address online is something that is much more alarming. Or am I too pedantic here?

Just my opinion..

LE, I think kooba meant that it was not very wise of the Newforest government people to make that document public, not that the link was published here. Plus it was already mentioned in the article in the first post that the area in question was Thorns Beach.

If the editors on AMIT feel it is inappropriate, however, they may of course delete the link and information.

[koobaa]

Yes, I meant the fact that you can easily access the document with address from the official government site. Making this info even more public on the fan forum is the other thing. As Jackal says, let's see what AMIT editors think.

[dustyvalentino]

Posting MK's home address on here is not a good idea IMO, even if it's freely available online. As a courtesy to our hero I think it should be removed. I'm posting this from my mobile though and can't edit easily.

[Jackal]

OK, bad move by me.

From the forum guidelines:

Discretion/Respect
Although it is A.M.I.T.'s aim to be more accepting and tolerant of "controversial" topics than other MK forums, we ask that you use discretion when posting a message. This forum is read by many Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits/Notting Hillbillies fans from around the world daily, so what you say will be seen and read by many people. Please keep it civil, and always respect Mark and his band members, family and his associates. All discussions that are deemed by the Administrators/Moderators, to venture too far into Mark or his band members' personal/family matters will be considered inappropriate and promptly removed from the A.M.I.T. forum. The Administrators/Moderators also reserve the right to remove any posts which may in any way, be considered defamatory, and or cannot be substantiated.

I will delete the link and address myself. I apologize.

[Love Expresso]

Well said, Dusty - "as a courtesy to our hero" is exactly what I meant...

@kooba and @jackal,
no offence meant by my question of course. As you said, the news has been released a long time ago and therefore of course nobody from the forum has made
any mistake or fault. But Dusty put it in the right words. I was just a little bit "uneasy" to dig so deep into MK's privacy.

I was thinking about that this morning. Natural curiosity tend me (us?) to be interested about where he lives but not that far to get the exact address and not into pilgrimage scheme either.
Like at the time it was publicly known that he had a house in Chelsea area - well that was all I knew about and it was enough for me.

[JeroenvG]

Mark has got a great house.
But what's the use to know the exact address? I think most of you all know where he lives. I don't think I can go blind to that spot but I do know the place.

Like Dusty said another time: If you know how the UK government works, you all can find the place. But then again, if you keep searching you can find all addresses from known people.

You are a real "Rudiger" if you found his phonenumber  

Oh and the funny thing is that it looks like John's house is bigger then Mark's.
