Best advice I was given, be yourself and dont change who you are just to please people. If people dont like you just for you, they aint worth bothering with. I wear the clothes I like, have facial piercings cos I like them. Anybody who doesnt like them, they got the problem, not me
Last night, going to bed, there was a rather nasty looking, but drowsy 
crawling around the bathroom floor. The thought that I may have got up in the middle of the night to go to the loo, and trodden on the nasty creature, gives me cold sweats ...brrrrrr.

I've been given plenty of advice over the years, much of which I'm thankful to say I didn't take, particularly when it came to romance.
My nana told me never to put all my eggs in one basket and never to wash cotton with taffeta, the former having been of most use to me.
Whilst the old Latin phrase carpe deum isn't a bad ideology but I taken the biggest inspiration from my own family motto: non nabis salum (not for ourselves alone). There are other variations from American Moss families and also those from Norfolk and Kent but the Lancashire original is the one which provides a good life ethic and one I am trying to embody as a councillor.

When i embarked on the self employed part of my life in the pub trade i had never ever worked for myself before and a chappy from Huncoat said to me "you will get alsorts of people giving you alsorts of advice" but my advise to if you only remember this little one is "give a little and you will get a hell of alot back" and i always remenber this doing something for nothing quite often brings you alsorts back

It's a shame you didn't get advice on spelling, grammer and punctuation, as it's terrible, almost non existent. It's as bad in your emails. Maybe you need to get yourself a secretary!

Since when has Accyweb been a spelling and punctuation test? As long as a post is understandable (which, in this instance, it is) we generally don't worry about that sort of thing too much...unless you're trying to score cheap political points. Also, judging by your spelling of grammar, I'd say you're far from perfect in that department yourself. Incidentally, if a Labour councillor had come on here and made the same post, I wonder if you'd have been sniping in the same way?

My personal secretary has now been made redundant after the spelling mistake.
No, I am not trying to score cheap political points, it's only the Tories that do that. I am trying to make a point that someone who runs a Recruitment Business, and can assess the suitability of candidates, has such a poor grasp of English himself. Shouldn't they be setting an example?

At what point did my post mention Politics? It didn't, so the only person trying to score 'cheap political points' is yourself. How very sad.
And of course, the fact that Whittaker just happens to be a Tory councillor has nothing to do with your post. Pull the other one. As for cheap politcal points from myself, I hardly think so, as I don't support either of the main parties.
You've already made a bit of a fool of yourself on this thread...I'd quit while I'm behind if I were you.

Considering your spelling mistake on the 'Education Education Education' thread, John, you are the last person able to pass comment.

No, Politics had nothing to do with my original reply. It was, as I said, based on his job as a Recruitment Consultant, and asking how he can assess people's suitability for a job with such a poor grasp of written English himself. The fact that he is also a Councillor and Chairman of his Area Council makes the issue worse in my opinion.
And yes, I would criticise any other Councillor, regardless of party, if their posts were as badly written as all his. This poor grasp of grammar, punctuation etc, also extends to his emails replies too.
