General Discussion

I do understand Rainbow, just wanted to know if you had an alternative in mind. As to their purpose, well I suppose they're cheaper for opening the fete or judging the 'pretty baby' competition than a B rated celebrity. On balance though, I'd pay pay for the celeb. Turning this around Rainbow, what would you do if you were Mayor? - apart from abolishing the post that is!

Interesting question Rainbow. What alternative do you propose? Dismissing the Mayor or Mayoress may not be the whole answer. Perhaps the future for Dawlish and such similar towns would be to take party politics out of local elections?

It's only outrageous if it's not an honest belief. From your comment Ben Hur, it's possible you're a member of the Town Council. If so, you know what part of your mandate should be if re-elected - change peoples' perception.
