I think he still lives up here, near the top.

I've only just come back to this thread - I don't know why I missed the posts.

Anyway, I agree with Neil, it was a clever bit of politics. Didn't know any of our councillors had it in them!

P.S. Staggering man - I don't think you'll find me at another area council meeting for quite some time. lol.

come on gail dont spoil it now.

Gayle · 02-07-2005, 07:03

Perhaps we can take it in turns, you go to the next one and I'll go to the one after that. That way we can guarantee coverage of them.

It was only one of them. When I mentioned my thoughts after the meeting to a certain nameless council official type I received a sly smile.

Now, let me guess.....

After I left the meeting I said to my husband that there was something suspicious about wanting to move the lamp in the first place - it seems like such a ridiculous idea but I hadn't put two and two together. Now it all makes sense.

Maybe I need therapy because I find the Area Council Meetings interesting. Often quite amusing. I need to get out more, don't I?

Gayle · 02-07-2005, 08:50

Amusing - yes, I can sort of agree.

But looks to me like you've just nominated yourself as our regular reporter from the meetings. When's the next one?

I'll go along with that one Gayle, Neil does a good job reporting back what goes on at the area council meetings, and he seems to enjoy the meetings.

No I didn't. Most upsetting you were not there to touch me up again

Just discovered this. Move the lamp? - it's sacrilege. However, what worries me just as much is that Hyndburn don't seem to know the derivation of the name "Oswaldtwistle". On the nameplate-thing in the gardens by the Co-Op (is that the Jubilee Gardens?) it says "Fork of land between two rivers". Balderdash! - Ossy takes its name from King Oswald of Northumbria, and the fact that it marked the boundary or "Twisla" of his kingdom. Don't Hyndburn know nuffink?
