The amount of money in question is
£268,000! Yep...that's two hundred and sixty eight thousand quid to find out why someone has thrown a few 'owd slippers up a tree.
Now, if they can get this amount of dosh over in the Chilterns, imagine what we could get in Hyndburn...half a million to find out why your wheelies ain't emptied...a million to discover the mystery of the Broadway pound shops. Can we think of something - the crazier it is, the more likely we can get some cash. I'm sure Gayle can handle the application form.
