It's the same sort of attitude as claiming that 11 up and down ridges in a formation of six concentric circles known as "High Form" were intended as a tribute to the Accrington Pals.

This is NOT a memorial garden in any sense of the word. It was never purpose built as such and to claim it as one not only insults those who gave their all in WWII but also insults the intelligence of those of us living here today.

As for the esteemed Mr. Britcliffe, can there be any more example of self indulgence than to have one's own name emblazoned in glory upon such a plaque? Surly a plaque to commemorate the anniversary of the end of the war (it can only be the plaque which commemorates it after all) could well do without the name of Hyndborg's current master of mayhem emblazoned across it in letters of almost equal size.

Perhaps we should buy him a trumpet for Christmas. He's blown his own so much it must be worn out by now.
