The Leaders Medal
Much has been spoken about the Leaders Medal on this Forum, but little has been seen of it. Time, perhaps, to reveal it to a wider audience.

Did it come in a packet of Corn Flakes, or is it from the Green Shield Stamp era, must be at least worth 10p.

It's a very nice medal. He was the only one wearing their medals on Wednesday afternoon, when we had the Honorary Freeman awards. Peter always had a sense of occasion.

Wrong. £72.11 + VAT.

Haven't had the joy of viewing him posed, I presume as the son of Mary & Joseph, I'm obviously not on his mailing list, (should I expect anything else? I Don't live in Ossy.), I wonder why he needed the boost of such a fatuous trinket?

Does that mean it will be handed on to the next Leader of the Council?
I notice he got his photo in the Accy rag again yesterday, something to do with the widening of a road in the graveyard which the Huncoat Councillor fought for.

By the way I don't read the rag but saw it open on a shop counterwhen others were talking about the graveyard road.
