A story in the Telegraph this week about the Haworth.

Â£120,000 revamp for Haworth Art Gallery grounds (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Good news, and investment will hopefully end any future plans for the Haworth's collections to come under the control of any body outside of Accrington.

Quick question - at what point is it appropriate to say 'i told you so' to some of the doubters?

Coming from a party leader on H.B.C., that fact more than adequately proves that some people's actions were more than 'rumour', regarding future plans for who controls the Haworth.

If, due to feared public outrage, some people now realise that any discussion of the Haworth's control leaving Accrington, would be vehmently opposed, so much the better.

As so often with rumour, there's very often no smoke without fire, despite what those carrying the kindling are told.

Well you can say it now Gayle... and while you are at it how about answering some of the questions I posed the other week in this thread and in the ossy civic theatre thread... and then, when you have done that perhaps you would care to enlighten us all about how much ratepayers hard earned cash is finding its way into your bank account for your consultancy services.

Have you been lying in wait for me?

Acrylic-bob · 02-04-2010, 14:10

Well we were kinda wondering where you had got to. I suppose that now you and britters are bezzies you have plenty to keep you occupied. So, about those questions.......?

Who's the 'we', I can't see any discussion on here asking for me to return.
I don't think anyone was wondering where I'd got to, except you. Everyone that I know well, was well aware of where I was.

I am very busy at the moment as it happens. I have an Arts Centre to open.

When our wonderful MP's were asked by a journalist to explain what they did with the money they claimed in expenses they did everything in their power to avoid answering the question. As I recall, " I am too busy " was a fairly common excuse. The journalist eventually had to resort to using the Freedom of Information Act.

The question is... What have you got to hide Gayle???

Herself A-B, shes gone.

Now that it seems Gayle has responded to the questions I posed, but on another thread, I will adjourn the conversation to the Civic Theatre Thread.

Absolutely nothing to hide. Here's my working week so far this week

Monday - bank holiday so only did a couple of hours work.
Tuesday - worked from 9.30am to about 8.30pm
Wednesday - worked from 9.30am to 9.30pm
Thursday - started at about 10am this morning and have just got some tea now.

I am busy. I'm getting ready for the opening of something that could be incredibly exciting for the town. It's not an excuse and I'm not at your beck and call to answer petty questions all the time. You clearly don't believe me but I am working my butt off to try and get something good going for the area. Now, I don't care if you think I'm hiding stuff because I'm not on here accounting for myself every minute of the day, but if there's one thing that I am, it's open about what i'm doing and what's going on.

DON'T compare me to any fiddling MPs, DON'T accuse me of claiming expenses that I don't deserve and DON'T even attempt to call me a liar.
