That's the problem with these people at the Mount Pleasant....they think they're upmarket. In reality, it is more akin to a greasy spoon with a wine list.....full of people who also subscribe to this superior attitude, not realising that they are paying through the nose for the view.
This species( Prestigeus Corruptus ) can usually be detected through it's plumage of Black Bow Tie, White Shirt and Black Cummerbund. In recent times some sub-species ( Prestigeus Corruptus Dickus ) have also been spotted, with their variant plumage of multi-coloured waistcoats and neck-ties. Both of the above tend to mate with Prestigeus Vulgaris. Current reports suggest that despite the ...
I like the idea of a Youth Council....but i also have concerns and reservations regarding it's authenticity.

I am astounded ...
Oh the irony of discussing the differences between Conservatives and Labour......when the truth is that they are both the same;whichever way they wrap up their taxes. First we had Thatcherism and now we have Blatcherism,which is now unravelling before Gordon's eyes. If you are all intent on discussing Capitalism, then why not discuss OUR LOCAL COUNCILLOR'S, MAYOR AND TOWN CLERK?! These people ...
