Re: yesterdays observer

Daily Mail.....Express???????? I wouldn't be seen dead reading those rags, credit me with some taste and discretion, please.

I apologise to our younger members if my cynicism is at odds with the idealism of youth, but after half a century of observing the doings of those who would have us believe that they know best how to keep the world turning I have learned to try to look behind and through what is said. However, as always, I will be the first to admit that I am wrong should things turn out that way. In the meantime, let us watch the progress of the Community Food Workers together and see what happens.

I don't mind spending a few quid on foreign food lessons if they can make them smell a little more pleasant, perish the thought of having to live next door to someone who puts this obnoxious smell out on a daily basis.

Re: yesterdays observer

If they have the grant on the condition that they will teach gardening skills then they may find themselves having to pay it back if they don't actually do that. The money isn't just handed out and then forgotten about. If that were the cae then anybody could get away with thousands under false pretences.

well the gov will take money from my taxes if they have less from the lottery fund and from my experience i doubt weather that money will actually be used to teach gardening skills. i would be happy if that was the case but im sure it wont. oh i cant afford to live in london as i live in a shared house here pratt !!!

Erm, sorry but I'm confused - where does gardening come into it?

The report did say, quote:-

'The money will help fund the Step-2 programme which will train and recruit community food workers and instructors to deliver after-school cooking and gardening clubs' No commas, so can be confusing..:-)

Ah, fair enough, I'd forgotten that - thought it was just cooking.

Re: yesterdays observer

spinner, I don't know what you are doing in order to quote people but somewhere along the way you are deleting some of the characters which results in a very confusing post where there is no distinction between what you are quoting and your reply.

It's quite simple really, all you need do is click on 'quote' in the relevant post which you wish to quote and then leave a bit of a space before you type your response. Make sure you don't delete anything with square brackets and the result will be the quoted text embedded in a separate little box within your post and consequently the whole thing will be much easier to understand.

What I do find very difficult to understand however is why you seem to resent so much any money which comes in to benefit the borough, especially as you say we are a poor town. Now I really can't help wondering what the issue was which skippy took to Greg Pope and if it had any connection with lottery grants and funding - in which case it's hardly surprising if he couldn't do anything about it because it's nowt to do with him.

Spinner clearly has an axe to grind with the authorities!

Re: yesterdays observer

I think it's nice that skippy and spinner live together, and also share a computer. They can moan to each other all day about how life in Accrington is rubbish, and how all the lottery grants goes to people they think unworthy.

Who said care in the community wouldn't work? I also having unsupervised internet access will teach them new skills, and to be more independent.

willow sorry for my errors as for skippy honestly i cant say why she went to greg but it was discussed and as far as i know it wasnt about communty grants if you think im skippy i simply cannot fathom WHY i would hide behind the name skippy. im very vocal about what i believ and another person who has had problms with greg also uses this comp but he does not use accyweb. if he decides too will you still assume it is me ? there are 5 peopl who use this comupter and the other forums dont seem concerned. at timeswe use shared forums i just cant see the logic in garinds speculation its ludicrous and its up to skippy to say you if she bothers. i mean does greg know me from my username personally and i dont wish for him to guess my id if i was mad with greg i would let him know face to face. i just cant comprehend the mentality of people who would think ineed to hide behind a false name despite the fact that a comp makes me faceless and my identity is secure to myself only
