Perhaps it was you labelling this forum as a place of 'vile and vicious insults' in the local press, that eventually attracted him.
Though of course there are penalties on here for calling someone a 'silly cow' on here, unlike council chambers, in the form of the karma system.

Well Rindi seeing you keep dragging up the "Silly Cow Gate" it may just be, that like myself Peter has a long memory. The first election count I attended when I returned from exile in Rossendale was the 1986 council elections, in those days the Ossy count was in the Civic Theatre. You may remember those election were just after the Americans Bombed Libya, using out airfields, and there was a backlash at the poles. The Tories had a councillor in Immanuel Ward called Monica Browning, who was an elderly lady ho had been an excellent ward councillor, but unfortunately she lost he seat. In those days it was traditional for candidate to shake hands after the count, Monica was try to do just that we she was accosted by a labour supporter standing next to their winning candidate, but before she could offer her congratulations to the victor, this so called supporter stepped in front of her and said, and I quote "F OFF YOU DRIED UP OLD COW. I decided there and then that I would never attend another count as I really couldn't be responsible for my actions. That is when I lost all respect for these so called politicians, who certainly should never be put in the same category as genuine Labour people such as Ken Curtis, Jack Grime, Len Dickinson, Bill Pinder and in deed Bernard Dawson and that genre
