M-johnny, cannot believe that you bought without seeing! I will ask around for a plumber for you. Without giving too much away, are you at the Oberau end or the Grafenweg end?
If you are in Niederau this week, let me know.

There are some good evening spots, but I have to say that this year there was less entertainment than in previous years. That doesn't concern me, because I just like meeting new interesting people, and there is no shortage of those.
I might go again.

This seems a reasonably kind posting, I would have thought. I wonder then, why it got one starred?

It couldn't be.......surely not!

Dave,
I can't see anything wrong with your post, or anything anyone could object to. In general I have noticed that my posts seem to be graded according to the percentage of wibble (or non snow sports related content) they contain. But you usually wibble very little, so there must be another reason.

I have also noticed that no-one ever owns up to being the one starrer - but I can assure you that it wasn't me, because I don't grade people on their posts.

Also, I don't think Johnny said he'd bought a place in Niederau without seeing it, but without ski-ing it, although I went to an auction once to buy a house and it was amazing the number of people there who bought properties without having seen them :shock:

Thanks Ally. I could not see the value in one starring a kind posting. There are a small number of regulars who seem to hate Niederau, one of whom has never been to Austria, and one who used to give me a lot of abuse, but now, thankfully, seems to have desisted.

Like you, I do not one star people. Most times, poor and abusive postings stand out, and make the poster look like an idiot, and so starring such comments are unnecessary. I do like to five star good posts, and the two people I have five starred the most are TonyH and Trencher.

Neither do I make adverse comments about resorts, except where there might be poor mountain service, lousy architecture, a dangerous ski link up, or inordinately high costs. These are always identified as specific issues, and not a slagging off of a resort, just for the sake of it.
Interestingly, when I introduced the "Being kind on J2ski" post, I was one starred on it!

Dave, can I correct you I have been to Austria twice but never "N" ........ I have just posted on another thread about one star's why worry about it, feel free to one star me every post I make, I really do not not care or will it stop me posting, I guess it is ego and the Alpha male thing that gets people's blood boiling worrying about a star, like I have said on a previous posting Ignore it and it will go away make a response and it will continue. This has all been said before, it is in your hands to stop it if you want to .

The place needs refurbishing so I would be grateful for PM's from any locals with recommendations re plumbers etc. Upgrading the central heating is my immediate issue, although I understand that piped GAS is not available (so probably stuck with oil or maybe a sunken gas tank?).
