His facetious comment about the number of posts people make is totally irrelevant to this thread.

I for one will continue to post if I think I have something worthwhile to add to a thead's subject.

Not all threads interest all people. There are sections on Accy Web that hold no allure for me, hence I neither read, nor post in them.

I can understand that threads dealing with issues local to Hyndburn might not hold much interest for those who don't live here. I have friends who live abroad, and I've joined forums where they live, and where I regularly visit. Some of their threads don't have any relevance to me, or offer me any interest.

Happily my life isn't so empty that I find myself posting in the very localised threads that hold no interest, in order to gain some perverse attention. I grew out of that childish stage not long after learning to walk, because I quickly realised it didn't produce many positive outcomes. Hopefully others might learn that too.

Could we please try and stay with the subject of the thread now, if there aren't going to be any more banal interuptions?

You are full of BS and self importance. :eek:

I notice that nothing of interest has been posted yet, regarding the information that was requested under the Freedom of Information Act.(?)

Rather disappointing considering all the work it probably entailed for some poor person at the council.

I think the subject of the thread has mutated into something quite different ... or if "mutated" is not the right word, "deteriorated" might do. Like the war aims of the Great Powers in WW l, they changed radically once battle was joined.

...and yet those who neither care or are interested in the price of hot dog purchased in Piccadilly Circus, keep reading and posting in it.:rolleyes:

Odd really, that there's so little else of interest.:rolleyes:

:D

But there is never anything worth watching on tv:D I never bought a hot dog in Piccadilly Circus, but there is a Dunkin' Donuts there ... Last time I was in London, I walked in, asked for a jumbo 4x4 ... received a blank look .... was asked if I would like to speak to the manager .... said "no thanks" .... left, and found a cafe that served me a really good cup of tea ..... :)

As is my stepfather, Eric your opinion is valued because unlike Royboy you add something to the thread that a troll cannot.

That question being the comment from turkishdelight about the Vision newspaper published by L.C.C.?

I didn't realise I was taking part in a personal question and answer session. I was under the illusion I was free to post in a thread where and when I wanted to, just like everyone else.

Why on earth should I answer each and every comment, especially as it seems totally irrelevant to the central issuse to this topic? That issue being the recently increased allowances of our local councillors, and the resulting public outrage that followed, which presumably promted Andrewb to request information about all councillor's expenses.

I also posted earlier that two wrongs don't make a right, and find that sort of evidence is always a very poor defence.

The only possible comment I can make about Vision, since the information provided wasn't given a source, is that it sometimes makes quite an interesting and informative read, and certainly takes longer to peruse before it goes into the recycling sack, than the lovely calendar did from my local councillors, and certainly has pretty pictures in it.

It can take quite a few weeks before any information is issued - when I asked for some info it took about three or four weeks before it arrived - so it's quite possible that Andrew hasn't received anything to post yet.

Just a point to all i value all the individuals opinions on here and consider their points of view. Royboy your opinions are certainly valued by myself.

That's fair enough.

It would have been nice of andrewb to share that information with us, if that's the case...in the interest of transparency and openess.:rolleyes:

...and myself, when relevant to the topic.

I found particaulary interesting his comment that if he lived here he wouldn't vote for Cllr. Britcliffe.

Hypothetical of course, because he can't vote in a local election here in Hyndburn, but interesting none the less, after he'd digested all the facts and reached that conclusion.

Just in case anyone happened to miss it, in this somewhat long and winding thread, this is the moment that Royboy39 came to the conclusion that he'd vote for Labour, if he was eligible to vote in a local election here in Hyndburn, after thoughtful consideration of the facts given in the thread.

As stated earlier, personally I can't make that claim. I vote for whoever I think is going to be the best person for the job, regardless of which party they're a member of.

An interesting conclusion for him to arrive at though, from an outsider's point of view.
