Oh dear.

I bet that little fantasy'll have you up all night now.

He was never much bother at nights, when he had his little job as a glass collector, down at the Slovak and Pole Dancer's Club.

question .... what does the Hyndburn Mayor actually do ? does he/she have any power/authority, from what I read on here in posts from local Accy-webbers P Britcliffe seems to be the local chief .

The Mayor has basically a ceremonial role...a bit like the Queen. However, when the chips are down, he/she does have a deciding vote in council meetings. Other than that, mayors spend their time opening fetes and that sort of thing.

However, that is the position in Hyndburn..some local authorities vest their mayors with serious executive powers. London is one...Hartlepool another. Fully salaried -providing they can carry the council - they have lots of wack. But not Hyndburn.

it may be a double bluff and once he gets that chain around his neck it may be off to cash for gold in a big envolope.

may not have sold his soul for a fiddle of gold but at a push a chain will do

All that glitters, is not gold.

You only have to see the green marks on a chav's neck to see that.

Let's hope Cllr. Bling thinks it's all been worth the fuss he's created, and those in his family who'll suffer because of his decision.

Well, Judas sold out Christ for 30 pieces of silver so I suspect that Councillor P has, allowing for inflation, put the value of the Mayoralty of Hyndburn at 30 pieces of gold (or however many make up that chain of office). Someone does need to tell him though, that it's probably not real gold nor is it his for keeps.
