(even though I didn't)
Does that make you feel better?
I thought we were mates, please, prove me right.
(I still think by the way, no need to worry about the foreigners voting, the no vote as represented as it is on here is a landslide).

Pease don't turn this debate into an off thread argument.

I think it's too important an issue for that.

You disagreed with how I gave facts gleamed from the open poll. I defended my right to do so, and still do. So we'll have to agree to disagree.

As for being vicious, besides making reference to your comic relationship to someone who apparently has you on ignore, I wasn't.

So, back on thread...

Where do you get your 'facts' from? Although I maintain your right to do so, sometimes you talk absolute balls.

As I keep saying to The Emperor, the residents of Hyndburn are bothered about frontline services first and foremost, not overly-expensive parades and photo opportunities with the Queen of the May.

Still, after he herded his sheep into the overview and scrutiny meeting yesterday to bleat on about 13 years of Labour rule it's good to know that I'm on really impartial committee which isn't in any way chaired by someone whose true colours shine through when the Leader is present.

I wish that you had the capability to come to such meetings, John. You might find that your view of the collossal ego that rules Hyndburn's future isn't quite so rosy these days.

So rather than face the fact I agree with the poll but not neccesarily with your interpretation, you continue with withering posts.

If, and I agree this thread is important, you wish to continue, put your insults in a P.M. and leave the thread alone, it's your input to me that is dragging it further down, insult me if you want, but tell me why you wish to be so nasty.

P.S. I look forward to answering it.

That's my recollection .

Plenty in the pubs because it was a holiday .

Just a few street parties .

And most who were interested watching it on the TV.

Let people do their own thing at their own expense .

There were times I used to attend every council meeting Ken, and even Group meetings too, but I gave that up long before I was incapacitated, mainly for two reasons, firstly I had to stop driving and secondly there seemed little point seeing that all items put before each committee had already been decided and they became just a rubber stamping exercise, would appear nothing much has changed in that time except the colour of the council

...and the last major royal wedding, was in July 1981.

We had snow last April.

The fact that the wedding is in the spring might put off all but the most determined of street party throwers.

As I've said earlier JCB I was living in Hassy at the time but can't remember too many street parties when Charlie got wed, the last street parties I remember was when her Maj was crowned in 52 or was it 53

Up until yesterday, my faith in the Overview and Scrutiny committee has been absolute. However, Peter Britcliffe turned what should have been a private interview with the panel into a media circus and invited the public along so he could showboat. Unfortunately for him, he found out just how galling it is to be accused of owning a property which isn't his.

What goes around comes around, Peter.

Reckon we should have a poll on Britcliffe: IN or OUT? I think I can guess the result of such a poll without too much stirring of the old gray matter!

Ya it did rain late on, I was only about 6 at the time and there was a Street Party in Hobgson Street, but it started raining and we finished up in the Foxhill Grove Church Hall and Hartley Street

In all honesty I wish it was a no brainer, I always want the person in control to produce the best results, but what the heck, if we had that everytime we wouldn't need to vote.

He quotes my own musings verbatim, rattles on about 'tweets' and Accyweb continually and seems incensed by the fact that I use this forum to convey what is actually happening at Britcliffe HQ.

It certainly doesn't bother me, if it bothers him it smacks of a guilty conscience.
