Re: Britcliffe
Forget the half-wit political polemics...
What's the wording on the benches?

If my memory serves me right I think Brain stood as county council candidate in 1999 and lost but won a council seat the year after in 2000, think he's up for reelection next year

On the internet it is hard to get nuances across I know.......I didn't read them as snidey comments G...maybe I missed something.
Thank you for considering me gracious....though I would say it wasn't gracious, just balanced....from someone who, like yourself has no particular political leanings...despite what some would have folk believe(name begins with an M).(NO not Mike)

Re: Britcliffe
Why the interest in the benches...did you bequeath them...are you afraid they might have mis-spelt your name???

I'm struggling to put one blasted foot infront of the other today, so won't be venturing out to satisfy your curiosity.
Ask a policeman.
Dial 999, if it's an emergency.

It is the exact wording on who bequeathed them and who paid for them that is important. It is possible I may have misread what was on there, but I think not; that's why I'm asking if anyone here can detail just what is written thereupon.

Re: Britcliffe
I am pretty sure you didn't misread what was on them.......anyone who understands/can use the meaning of political polemics surely has enough education to read the wording on a simple bench without any help from us lesser mortals.

I've just taken a taxi there.
You owe me.
Just under a crude phallus, it says 'GeM LUVS J.C. 4 Eva'.
Happy now?

Unfortunately, I was in a hell of a rush and and on the mobile as I went past talking about some maths stuff so I only had a glimpse of the detail. That's why I'm asking now if someone can copy it and confirm what I think that I've seen.

However, given the fact that most people in Ossy have an IQ of about 20 (roughly that of a three month old parrot) then I realise that reading and writing is an exercise beyond them; so possibly someone from Church or Accy could venture up beyond the lamp to check the said inscriptions.
