I think there's a difference between 'knows' and 'satisfied', the former suggests absolute, whereas the latter suggests doesnt know but given the evidence will.....a distinct difference :wink:

Yes your right, but i'm sure if we change the wording of the act to 'know' you might find they dont actually know and the whole country will be deregulated. :lol:

I think there's a difference, in fact a very great difference indeed, between being satisfied that there is no unmet demand and being satisfied that there is no significant unmet demand.

There may be unmet demand, but if that unmet demand is not significant, then in the words of section 16 it is irrelevant.

Why oh why, do we keep talking about unmet demand when it should be significant unmet demand. The distinction is crucial & could be the difference between de-regulation & limiting numbers in any given LA.

Whilst we're on the trivial and hardly worth mentioning I'm sure you meant 'you're right' and not "your right" :roll:

It easier to say unmet demand when you've drunk half a bottle Scotch than it is to say...significantunmetdemand :lol:

I think it is significant to use the word significant, because significant is a significant word in section 16 & indeed gives the section its' significant meaning & if the statement you are making is bereft of the word significant, then the meaning you wish to convey is not as significant as if you had used the word significant in your statement to show that the statement you were making was significant!!

Toots... I always seem to get my point across... eventually... and usually the other person thinks it was their idea in the first place .... you pay big money for people with a extremely large vocabulary.... I get paid nothing so what does he expect..ha ha..

I don't pay big money for anyone's vocabulary, which will explain why mine is 'yes, no and I think I'm having a blonde moment'. I do however see you're point :lol:
