I would love to be in the front row of the public Gallery when the case comes up before the Magistrates.:D

Aren't those photos supposed to be on the post office wall? They sure look like Bonny and Clyde to me.

According to the official Hindburn Council web site, Our Mr Rix is presently involved in the following:
1) Regeneration Partnership & Programmes,
2) Community Cohesion & Neighbourhood Renewal,
3) Crime & Disorder,
4) Globe Enterprises
5) Asset Management.............and
6) NUDA/GONW/LPS Partners....?????? Eeer wot?
Lets send him to jail for these offences :D

Re: Doug & Sandra Fan Club
 

What the heck is NudaGonwLps? I haven't heard of that one.

Re: Doug & Sandra Fan Club
 

I think I can help on that one. The web site actually says that he is Lead Contact for NWDA/GONW/LSP.

NWDA = North West Development Agency. A quango set up to distribute government funds to local authorities.

GONW = Government Office North West. Part of central government devolved from Whitehall to target specific areas of the country.

LSP = Local Strategic Partnership. A group of local organisations brought together to plan the future of the area via a set of strategic plans, such as the Community Plan. In Hyndburn, Hyndburn First is the LSP.

Got it? It's either a more efficient means of governing us in Hyndburn........

....or an excuse for faceless bureaucrats to push loads of paper round and draw fat salaries at the expense of the Council Tax payer.

I think I go along with the second one.

Re: Doug & Sandra Fan Club
 

Hmmm, So do we know who the two "faceless bureaucrats" are, who's salaries are in excess of £70,000 this this year?*

(*-According to the council's published accounts for 2003-4)

So, let me think about this for a moment..............................

.................yep, thought so:

Call the same thing by a few different names and you can get away with losing more money. Does that sound like HBC policy to you?

Look no further than the web page for Management Team.

Re: Doug & Sandra Fan Club
 

Just to let everyone know that the true-life story of Doug, Sandra and the rest of the gang at HBC is shortly due for big-screen release. The resemblances - Doug's in particular - are quite startling. Here's the trailer:

Enjoy!

Re: Doug & Sandra Fan Club
 

:rofl38: That's incredible...... Wonder how much they're being paid in royalties.:D

Re: Doug & Sandra Fan Club
 

How about turning the big screen release into a musical and call it Hyndburn West Side story or Piddler on the Roof
