Well I've never been a councillor and after my secretarially experiences helping councillors I wouldn't won't to be one, its a thankless job, the general public think because your a councillor your available 24/7, thus phone calls at 7 o'clock on a Sunday Morning or 10 o'clock on a Saturday night. This is why I have always said that councillors earn every penny they are paid irrespective of Party. Believe me, popping into the odd meeting forms very little of what councillor actually does, so if this is not the life for you stay well clear, because to be a councillor you must be some sort of masochist, in the nicest possible way of course
