c) Pawn the Leaders Medal, getting, say £50?, (is there VAT on that????)
d) Abolish Christmas in Hyndburn, saving £9,000,
e) Don't employ celebrity chefs, saving another £9,000,
f) BUT Reopen Peel Street Toilets, costing £10,000

A grand NET total of £56,050.

Job Done, and Everybody Happy.

Hold on, though. There is the little matter of a further £2,543,950 to be saved THIS YEAR alone, plus more next year.

Thinking Caps on again, it seems!

What was I saying?

Oh yes...

The point, when in dire financial straits, is that every penny does count.

It's making a a start.

It's called not burying your head in the sand, and being defeatist.

It's the difference of what it means to be Btitish, versus the subservient, defeatist attitude of the French.

Nevermind our 'thinking caps'.

You should be wearing a little bonnet with a white feather pinned to it.
