Oh poppycock! That is something that my grandfather used to say all the time.

Oh, poppycock he would say when he heard something so ludicrous it was farcical.

There is a small group of residents who are gathering together to try to derail the decision to allow the development of SouthBridge 2. One of the arguments against the project is that SouthBridge 2 will drive away tourism.
