Well why did the council make a big song in the press that every home in Hyndburn was to receive a form, and the findings would sway their decision?

It wouldn't have been cheap to do, are you suggesting that HBC are wasting our money?

That point is irrelevant Jaysay, just some people do not appear to have had the chance .. 10% of 40,000 (?) is better than 10% of 15,000 (?). Figures just a guess.

Sent E-Mail to Observer Garinda.

They just called me for the story, and you were next on the list, as well as others who are livid they never got to have their say on the biggest proposed change in local government since 1974.

Call me old fashioned, but I was brought up to believe that if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. Otherwise it's just a waste of resources, ie: time, and in this case time and money, with the end result being pointless, because the information received is flawed because not everyone's opinion seems to count.

Didn't ask mine, unless they have if from last time.

They may be after you listing your favourite things next week, or the next Hyndburn Honey.

You're my honey, and thanks very much for your valuable imput.

Yah know, was musing about this myself in the car on my way home from Mez's .. wondering whether I should lie or not to make me sound more intellectual like ..

You don't need to lie, you are one smart lady, in every sense of the word.

Who would you like to be stuck in a lift with, by the way?

Thanks very much for doing that.

I thought perhaps I was going mad, and it isn't really very important, but it looks like it is.

Why you of course Garinda ... 'cause you would make me laugh to allay my fears and keep me agasp by all your past exploits and confrontations with the famous people you have met .. might even be able to extract a few 'kiss and tell ones' ..

Otherwise, the delightful, dishy Graham Jones .. >>>>>> awaiteth negative comments from Jaysay ...
