No good Jay, it'd infer God like status. ;)

Re: Britcliffe
 

From your comment dig am i to conclude you do not view pb in a god like way, after all he was once the all powerful leader of Accrington council, i myself was of the opinion he was our very own Julius Ceaser an emperor without equal, among mere mortal men of course.And then again without equal amongst the upper echelons of the gods.His tragic and may i say unjust deposition from his position of all seeing power was a terrible day for the people of Accrington ,the sad passing of what i consider to be a political giant whilst amongst other political leprechauns he stood head and shoulders above them all a sad sad episode in political terms.:rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D:D

Re: Britcliffe
 

Well in those terms WM and if Caesar was PB then Brutus must definitely have been Red Ken from Rishton:D et tu brute:rolleyes:;):D

Re: Britcliffe
 

Nice one john but surely a man with such political insight as Pb would have seen the knives coming.
As scipio africanus said "I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how I react to it.":D:D

Re: Britcliffe
 

Ah, but if he was so Caesarian as you perceive surely that famous quote would've been sufficient forewarning of the heinous acts to follow ?

"Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me !" Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams Carry on Cleo 1964) :rolleyes:

Re: Britcliffe
 

Well not really WM ya see, he's regularly had the knives removed from his back over the last 28 years, something I doubt will happen to others now taking up the mantel as they will be long gone before they tot up half that time;)

Re: Britcliffe
 

He was shouting that back in 83 never mind 2011:D

Now here's a guy who knows when its time to go, maybe he can then follow his favorite hobby of chasing the fair sex:D

Re: Britcliffe
 

From the outset let me say I'm no fan of PB or the political party he stands for however as an elected Councillor he has democratically been elected repeatedly by the electorate particularly in Borough and now in County Council elections so what do the good people of Ossy see in PB that the rest of us are missing?

Re: Britcliffe
 

Well its always hard work to remove the pigs from the trough once they get their noses in.;):D:D:D

Re: Britcliffe
 

Well labour have been trying for 28 years to remove Britcliffe from HBC and so far they haven't even come close

Re: Britcliffe
 

The people of Ossy know just how much he as done for Ossy, I would think there is hardly a household in St Andrews Ward that Britcliffe hasn't helped over the years, its these things that people remember

Re: Britcliffe
 

Might need to rephrase that Jay, have you looked at the town council lately ? ;)

Re: Britcliffe
 

He's still a councillor Dave and as I've said labour, over the years have tried every dirty trick in the book (ya them tricks they wouldn't dream of doing) and have I've said on election day he's never even broken sweat retaining his seat, one year they even lost two of there own councillors because they concentrated so much on St Andrews ward and he still won by 120 votes which is quite good in that ward

Re: Britcliffe
 

I was talking in general john not just his lordship:D
