an afterthought because you wouldn't wish to appear corrupt, or was it that if you did rise to such a heady height of influence you would be corrupt and use it for your own gains and by a lucky set of coincidences the people on that street would also benefit because they are on the same street as your property?

I somehow doubt that graham has been trying for improvements across the Borough in such a selfish manner.

What is sickening is that on Wednesday or Tuesday Cllr Howarth stopped me and asked if I was all right, if the family were all right as though she cared.

How can you pretend to be so nice, then so be so callous and calculating at the same time?

Hypocrisy?

A much valued attribute in some.

Having just read the letter,I would be surprised if Marlene Howorth wrote the letter. I've no wish to do Marlene a disservice, but it's pretty obvious whose mucky hands are all over that letter.

Since there are procedures in place, to hopefully limit false letters being published, we should be able to read a full retraction in next week's Observer, from the 'real' Marlene.

It might even make headline news,

Local 'Website' Reveals Obbo' Letter Of The Week Scam.

I can just see that happening.

They might scan our pages and follow up on anything that is juicy for themselves, but drop themselves in it and acknowledge us at the same time?

I'll carry on dreaming.

Would be embarrassing if not her, however, have looked up the electoral register and doesn't appear to be another Marlene Haworth in Hyndburn.

Still, could be a pseudonym ... but they have to enter a telephone number, so wouldn't be difficult to check on this.

[garinda]

Legally who'll be able to claim the prize?

Marelene Haworth, or the 'real' Marlene Haworth, councillor at H.B.C.

Perhaps cctv from Ossy Mills could be used to gather evidence, to see who's spending the lolly.

Even if you want to hide your address, as happened in this case, you do have to provide it, plus a contact telephone number, when submitting a letter to the Observer for publication.

Though sadly not quick enough to edit my own glaring mistakes...when seen too late, and I've been timed out by the edit facility thing-mi-jig.

Just googled her and look who's alias it is on page 2 of images?
