[Margaret Pilkington]

and Mr Easton, you still haven't mentioned why you still call me 'Marge'....MargaretR and I are different people...but then you like to generalise about what you think we are.
Some of us have no political affiliations....and Sue is right......we the white over 60's have given our lives to the town, have known it in it's heyday......have time to respond on the forum...families grown up left home.

Sue is also right when she observes, that somehow, we must have got under your skin for you to post that long justification(at least that is what it seems like to me) in post 798.
And I do not think it is Margaret who is 'sad'...I think that honour must go to you, for your need to constantly tell us of the good you are doing for our poor little town...should I tug my forelock now sir?

People come and go on this forum. For some, they come, because like you they have an agenda which needs to be fulfilled...once that is done we hear no more from them...we the forum members do not drive people away....these are adults who have a choice in life. They can go or they can stay.
This is a good forum, by far the best of any of the local ones anyway.

You have a choice too.......you can stay, or you can find somewhere that you find more diverse in membership, more palatable to your obviously cosmopolitan tastes.(not the all white, over 60's that you seem to abhor so much)Personally I couldn't give a fig what you do...the forum certainly isn't enriched by your opinion of us, or your posts either for that matter.
