It’s a bit like being anally fixated isn’t it. For Christ sake can’t we just once have a discussion without resulting to bun hole metaphors and the like.

Returning to the matter in hand, the success of these local community based awards is publicity, how else would you know to nominate someone for Good Neighbour or Young Person without it.

Keeping that in mind could we as a forum/group come up with a short list of people to go forward in each category? Rather than find reasons to discuss arse holes……..Think about it.

A Community Warden
