Glad to hopefully have been some help in helping you understand how local government works in England. If you want to ask any more questions I will try to answer them.

Thanx ... but as I read some of the posts on here, I wonder more about "if it works" than "how it works.";):D

Still think that taking the bickerings of party politics out of local govt. would be a good idea ... but, that's a foreign opinion.:eek:

Two more letters are printed in this weekend's Observer, from members of the public apparently unhappy that they've indirectly funded calendars that they didn't want or need.

Count yourself lucky if you ain't had a calendar.

You haven't been cased...yet.

Whatever your views, whether you think the calendars are a waste of money or not, it's not Tory propaganda. Might be a waste of money if you think that, fair enough.

At least this year andrewb has joined the majority of us, who think the calendars are a total waste of tax payer's money per se, irrespective of the details on them.

:rolleyes:

Sadly, because of the financially free and easy actions of some of our councillors, many points are still relevant, and will continue to be so, until they realise people don't want their hard earned taxes wasted on God damn awful calendars, plastered with photographs of the arrogant sods.

Though it was nice to see you doing a completes U-turn this time last year, but didn't then seem to be criticising those councillors who didn't want anything to do with this shameful waste of money.

The laddie's not for turning.

Oh yes he is!

If a 'boring fart' is someone who doesn't appear to be a megalomaniac, I agree, it'd be harder to write something bad about them.

At least you can light a match to get rid of a fart.

I think a silver stake would be needed to get rid of the other.

Quite easy to forget the additional waste Labour have created by rejecting being on the calendar when you have gems like this last year:

Apparently they thought the money could be better spent on projects in Peel and Barnfield.

An undercover Labour councillor (Bernard Dawson) posting under a name other than his own under the pretence of being a curious resident to do some political point scoring. :D
