Beaver trim?

The Mayor's robes are a fine piece of cloth though, not entirely sure how comfortable they are in the July sun however!

You've seen the sun in July!

You can't have been around here then.

Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
Perhaps a mayor, to celebrate being elected to the office for four years, would commission new, more regal robes.



After all, the Emperor had new clothes.

Perhaps the newly elected Mayor of Hyndburn will too.

Well I suppose the Council Tax Payer could go as far as a new set of robes as stipulated by Hans Christian Anderson

You mean put a face to the would be mayor elect?

Hopefully that's all you mean.

We don't want that, and him naked as well, as in the Emperor's New Clothes fairy story.

I haven't had my lunch yet.
