Don't apologise ... it makes him worse ... just ignore; or, better still, get right back in his face Punctuation isn't that important anyway. Bibliographers refer to punctuation as "accidentals" ... in other words, it ain't really all that important. Many great authors, Dickens and Melville among them, left punctuation to their editors ... you know, picky pedants.

Just a thought - but as this is your area of expertise (as you point out), surely you should be the one questioning this quote instead of just accepting it.

I don't agree, I think the Council need to present themselves as a professional organisation as always.

I wonder what people would think if the bin wagons were hand painted with a bit of Dulux and a 6" brush to save money?

At any other time possibly, but we need to make so many cuts just to keep on an even keel that it's pointless looking at other areas that will rack up a new bill. I'm truly sorry to talk that way but no matter how many times Peter Britcliffe crows on about the robust financial shape he left the council is I'm afraid he made the odd one or two promises that HBC could never afford to keep so now it looks like Labour are a bunch of niggardly halfwits who can't manage the books.

I would love webcasting but quite honestly even if it cost £10,000 it probably wouldn't happen just now.

Why not get the money through advertising revenue:

Hyndburn Borough Council Meeting

Brought to you by MacDonalds (Accy Branch)

You never know - you might also get free nosh out of 'em. All the councillors could be captured on film, chomping away on their quarter pounders, while Councillor Britcliffe throws one of his wobblies and storms out. Exciting stuff - better than Corrie.

Could you not hop on a Metropolitan tube train, when you have a spare moment, and check if these people might be interested in sponsoring a H.B.C. webcast?
