It was a bit tongue in cheek, I think the chain of office should be placed in an envelope and sent of to cash my gold chain of office and the proceeds given to charity, (tongue firmley in place again). I worked for the council for almost 40 years and can report from up close
some of these public servants are muppets, serving only themselves. just now and again you get a good egg. That is why the mayorship should be seperate from the council, with the only brief being, help the people, for the people, by the people, slight paraphrase there.
So to get back on topic, the office of mayor should not be a political appointment, but a voluntary position, people who help the people for no reward or recognition.
Right after that I am back off to my darkened room for a bowl of pobbies and a cup of complan
