When we are at meetings we do get to have brews but have to provide the biscuits ourselves. Nick Collinridge and I have taken turns to provide biscuits at Overview and Scrutiny meetings. I hasten to add at our own expense not reclaimed from expenses.

Supporting Burnley may be a start.....If you had been subjected to his constant references to a past thread you would no doubt have reacted in the same way.
We cant all be as smart and worldly wise as you, now can we?

I know you were - it was a bit of a standing joke at Overview and Scrutiny why there were never any biscuits, so at a meeting earlier this year I brought some and Nick then brought some to the meeting last Monday. By the way we are still waiting for the Tory members to return the favour.

I wondered where they came from. If I had known I would have had two.

Re: Last Nights Council Meeting
to be fair i think its disgusting having a council tax rise this year, my budget has been cut in line with the projected deflation so i have to make savings and streamline even more... are the council not capable of this ?
can someone who sits on the council ask why we need an increase and why we couldnt have a freeze?

Don't worry dear...on or off line, to me his posturing, tantrums and high handed attitude strike a nerve.
Not all of us are taken in.
I forgot KOW TOW. Yes sir no sir three bags full sir.
