Oh don't worry Blazey, we're good at thread wandering. We usually get back on topic eventually.

I wonder if there has been any bother in town or if this was just a lone protestor making a statement about our Cllr. Dobson.

I didn't stay down there very long and I had been to Blackburn earlier in the morning so if there was any hoohah then I missed it.

(P.S. - just found out there is a Lancaster Tower at Windsor Castle. That's a bit like Leeds Castle being in Kent isn't it?)

That's two good reasons I have now to be glad we didn't move there then - the other was the recent flood warnings which are far worse than the Accy ones.

Anyway, does anybody know if there was any serious bother then or was this banner the sum total of the protest?

I've always found Mayor Dobson an absolute pleasure to converse with.

I've no idea what the banners claims of "corruption" are. I do wish people would express themselves a bit more when they claim such rubbish!

Doesn't the new Mayor give his profession as a landord?

Perhaps a tenant been driven to distraction by a dripping tap.:D

I know a couple of people who've been into town today,they didn't see any bother.Looks like this banner was the sum total of the protest.Who'd do an underhand,cowardly thing like that? I've never heard anything bad about the new Mayor before.

I would love to know more about why this banner was put there,it's interesting that it hasn't been removed too. Political intrigue eh ?

Someone has taken a great risk to put that banner up,they'd have had to stand on the railway line wouldn't they? It won't be an easy task to get it down but I'm sure it will be removed asap.They won't want it left there long will they?

Is it not the nickname for the gaol willow? Relating to the suicides.

Re: has anybody seen?
 
It's the same people who do things like this as the ones who leave unsigned karma on Accyweb,too cowardly to do it out in the open and put their name to it.Therefore it is not worth taking any notice of in my opinion.

Lancaster Uni was alleged to have the highest student suicide rate some 20 years ago when I applied there! The tower is nowt interesting achitecturally or historically, it's just one of the blocks on campus.

Re: has anybody seen?
 
Maybe getting confused between Lancaster and Blackpool? I think one of them has a tower.
