Maybe you should be asking Peter the answer to this. After all he does keep saying we are an "excellent" council. Peter is so good at his job that he answered an email from me, but instead of just pressing reply in the email programme he sent the reply to a member of the public, who was not too impressed at getting the email.

If they ever have enough skills to master tying their own shoelaces, things might hopefully improve on that front.

Or learning how to press the reply to sender icon on the HBC email programme. It is not only Jaysay who sends messages to the wrong person.
It is quite worrying when you consider it could have been some highly confidential council information.

Blimey, they're really not too hot when it comes to using emails and personal messages, are they?

I do hope it was nothing of a 'sensitive' nature, that he sent to the wrong person.

I'm sure they do a beginers guide to computing at Ossy Library.

I check, and if they do I'll book two places for him and his pal Jaysay.

Clutching at straws now Claytonender. Just go away, come back with something real that the Conservatives have done bad, or have the guts to drop your own allowances if you're going to complain about other peoples. Absolutely stinks of hypocracy. Better still, work with them for the betterment of those people who elected you, rather than spending your time trying to trip the Conservatives up.

You could start by getting in contact with your Labour county council buddies, and get Emma Street tarmaced like you promised the residents.

Maybe his misuse of council IT services has not taught him any lessons then, if he can't even press the right button?:)

Let's just be happy enough people saw sense in Hyndburn, twice I might add, not to send him down to Westminster after the General Elections.

Besides starving his poor little self half to death, because the big bad city is just sooooo expensive to eat in, he could have perhaps started a war, if he happened to start pressing buttons willy-nilly in the wrong office in Whitehall.

No wonder they decided to sqander the grant of £591,000 that was given to them to start a community website here in Hyndburn.

Technology can be very confusing for some.

Cllr. Britcliffe probably pressed a wrong button somewhere, and just deleted all that dosh.

Still it's only just over half a million pounds...half a million pounds of people's hard earned money.

I will start to consider working with Peter Britcliffe when he stops lying in public about the activities of myself and my fellow Church councillor. Until then I will continue to speak to him as I did on Thursday evening. Incidentally he refered to me as 'That woman' during Thursday's council meeting. Clare Pritchard and myself have been speculating that maybe if -God Forbid-the Tories ever win power again nationally whether all Labour voters will loose the right to be addressed by their name and be called in a similar manner. I have stipulated that I must be "That woman" number 1. Clare thinks her title will possibly be "Gobby woman" but I am not to sure as it might imply she is a resident of Oswaldtwistle. So I have suggested "Milly woman" to signify the ward she represents. In fact we have discussed having the names tatooed on our left buttocks - in red of course.

Mmmmmmmmmmm I wonder which side is winning us, the swaying voters.:rolleyes:

There's a lot to take in.

Greed. Gross incompetence. Arrogance. Lack of intellect. Fairness. Integrity. Refusing to listen to Joe Public at 'public' meetings. Idiotic and wasteful whims, with no perceivable benefits to the borough. Megalomania. Did I mention greed, as in feathering one's own already comfortable nest?

Yes there's a lot of information for us ordinary Joes to take in.:rolleyes:

I'd hate to say who was winning, certainly from the evidence we've had presented before us on Accy Web.

It's Hobson's choice.

Whilst on his recent trip to London did he also make an all expenses paid visit to the Lucy Clayton School of Deportment and Charm?

I suppose it's one step up from allegedly referring to a fellow councillor in public as a 'silly cow'.

Count yourself lucky.;)

I do indeed. I think when I sign in at the next council meeting I will sign "that woman" maybe he will know who I am then.

That might not be a bad idea if it was actually promised. I cannot understand why people who pay council tax have to put up with the road outside their house being such a disgrace. My sister lives on there and I am afraid I would not be best pleased if the road outside my house was allowed to get into that state. Think I would be witholding my council tax

i'm just wondering why there has been no comment from "Turkish Delight" about this meeting, surely must have heard what was actually said.:confused::D

She might have been ejected, for keep shouting out demands of explanation, for every simple thing that was mentioned that she didn't quite grasp.;)
