Yet another political jibe at an elected councillor and leader.
I would go hell for leather at your leader who inherited the post by default. GB I mean.
Maybe you would volunteer to pack his bags when he vacates No 10.
It would appear that most of the electorate in Hyndburn don't take your view?

The original full colour calendar, featuring the twelve beautiful photographs, that inspired this debate, has a lot to answer for.

I'm glad mine is safely stored in a vault, until Flog It comes to town.

I never got a copy of that either. I wonder if whoever made it has a spare copy for me

I think all the remaining copies were put in evidence bags, for when they were used in the trial.

Like I said, a collector's item.

I haven't seen the Oswaldtwistle calendar, but if you have one spare, give me a PM, I will happily take one. Having not seen specifically the Oswaldtwistle one, I would hope that it has the democratically elected councillors contact details on.

It has, and as I said earlier I have no problem with that.

As for how much it's cost us....

You can get a lovely one with fluffy kittens on in Wilkinson's in January, for only ten pence.

But the Christmas Cards, which the Labour Councillors delivered, had the name, address and a contact telephone number for their democratically elected councillor. They also had a list of other useful telephone numbers and had a calendar on the back of the card.

I can't speak with certainty as I have not seen the christmas cards, I do not live in a ward with a Labour councillor. Therefore I cannot make judgement on the practicality of the calendar, other than that I have never kept a Christmas card for more than a few weeks. My main point still stands, that I don't believe democratically elected councillors, who represent the people of Hyndburn, should be digging into their own pockets to show people who represent them. I think its discriminatory based on their wealth, and that is wrong.

Hey Spuggie - are you Britcliffe in disguise?

Tell me more about the ale and the loose women

I can be bought

At my age, the required standard is a pulse

P.S Are you really called Mr jaysay?

Every body on here knows exactly who I am on here as I told them years ago, So will you now do the same
