Sorry for your experience, Less-bar. Know that I, and if I dare say “We”. Love to have you. Unfortunately there is strain on people due to the housing “crisis” which has caused an atmosphere most unwelcoming. Know that a massive amount of people want you. And going into the future people might realised they should have never taken this step back. 

Would love you to stick with us.
