I was fairly flippant about the subject at first, but when I saw how officers dealt with it I was impressed and felt the Council deserved to be defended on their handling of it all, which I think has been exemplary.
If that makes me a village idiot in the eyes of Garinda, then I think I can live with that!

Please point out where it says in council regulations or standing orders just where council officers have to concern themselves with things not conected to the running of HBC, in fact things not even conected with this country, I await your answer with great interest
