    The only way we really see anything of Mr Trump over here is in his Apprentice series.

    Clearly there he is used to being courted and to setting the agenda and expects to get a return on his investments. The same of course applies to Sir Alan Sugar who does his own Apprentice series over here but property is less of an issue for him.

    But maybe there is a lesson here - money does not always talk and people cannot always be bought. No doubt much of what the Trumps and and the Sugars of this world do is beneficial but Kudos to those who show some independence of spirit too.

    There is a farm set in the middle of the M62 motorway that runs across the Pennine Hills - they stood their ground too and the Motorway had to be built around it in both directions.

    The powerful cannot always get their own way and that's not a bad thing.
