Well you know me G. not big on gossip, but I can quite understand where berks like the thread starter get there jollies, they start of by adding 2 and 2 and getting 2643.

In the days when I was a regular letter writer to the local press the Labour Party used to intimate that it was Britcliffe writing the letters and using my name, which was bollocks, I had a pact with PB I didn't interfere with his council work and he didn't interfere with my letter writing. Even when I joined Accy Web there were many people thought I was PB, in fact the day after Gayle lost to Peter in the 2006 council elections, there was a private message waiting when I logged on here from Gayle, saying something like congratulations on your win yesterday Peter, I replied saying she had contacted the wrong person, its JDF not PB.

But as you well know 5 years down the road, as I think cashy pointed out, I have little or no contact with PB, probably outlived my usefulnessin fact I haven't heard from anybody from the Tory party since May 5th and although I said I would display a poster prior to the election, none appeared.

The fact is that I put the friendships I have made here on Accy Web way above politics, politics was something I was involved in for most of my adult live, it has now taken a back seat for a few years now, but its still fun having a poke with a stick just for devilment

Re: Britcliffe

When I was young(a lot of years ago) one of my younger brothers used a stick to poke a wasps nest...he did it for devilment.......and ended up covered in maddened wasps.....venting their anger on him.
It wasn't a pretty sight......he ended up sat in a tin bath full of cold vinegary water to relieve the pain of the stings. I think it taught him not to poke sticks into anything.
Sorry for the thread wander...it just brought back some old summer memories.

it would appear that your brother hadn't learnt the knack of poking the nest Margaret, the idea is only to poke it so they say what the hells that, but when they look the prevaricator has disappeared before doing untold damage,which in accy webs case its called logging of

John , torquemada is not a member of the Labour Party .

He has never lacked guts when writing letters to the Observer with his name and address printed .

I don't know who most contributors to Accy Web are . I probably know half a dozen . But I just accept their use of a pseudonym , a practice which is accepted and shouln't be interpreted as cowardice .

If some body decides to slag me of calling me a lacky from behind a screen name he's nothing but a sniveling coward, end of story, no matter how many bloody letters he writes to the press, because I've always stated that the press should print unsigned letters anyway, and the fact is this is different, its instant reply, not waiting for a week to see if the editor allows rebuttal, so if he can't stand the heat keep out the blood kitchen

Of course, everyone here has the privilege of using a pseudonym, and the anonymity that offers.

It's then a great pity that a person using this cover decides to post someone's real name, which isn't known to all and sundry, and not their anonymous username. As well as posting unsubstantiated claims, which turn out to be untrue.

If this great thinker, and writer of epistles to the local press, thinks Accrington has a Lord Mayor, perhaps they're one of the letters we regularly see, and have a wry chuckle, whilst thinking...NUTTER!

well thats really funny, if our friend pertains to be n inquisitor, i would have assumed that the main requirement of such a person, would be to "Be aware of the Facts"?

Well put Jaysay, people shouldn't be allowed to slag people off on here, after all isn't that Libel?? Maybe torquemada will have the "decency" to message you and tell you where they got their informed information from ??
