I found it rather interesting to read through ANDYSPORTS' old posts. Full of the joys of Spring that one. I really hope he continues to post his little rays of sunshine on here.

Did Co-op have a Foodbank collection?  If so, did they invite the press along to attend a presentation of the collection?  If not on either count, then that says more about the Co-op on the Strand than it does about any local politician.

The vast majority of citizens don't have to retire at 60 or 65, that's simply not true whether in public or private sector. State pension age for my generation will be 66. Likewise for getting my bus pass. If I lived in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales I'd get my bus pass at 60. Christmas is celtic.

Thanks for the info LYNNE. I didn't think that Town councillors got paid. A third of a million pounds is quite a lot split between the 46 District councillors. And I don't know why anyone would bother to put in a single expenses claim for just £1.35! I wonder how the District councillors' pay/expenses compares with other District Councils in the UK?

ROBERTA, Christmas has been a feast of indulgence ever since the High Middle Ages.  Have a peaceful and happy one.

OLD FART, how much do you think Town Councillors get paid?

M & S right or wrong

Wrong. Not company policy, as per article.

Beautifully written NEILH.

I completely agree with you ROBERTA that it's nutters who start wars, though that is irrespective of the nutters' religion. However not all nutters start wars.

Rupert Murdoch, who sanctioned the phone-tapping of Millie Dowling and approved the editorials re. Hillsborough, had to go all the way to Kenya to find a single nutter who supports the murdering duo. I think that suggests the opposite to what you say ROBERTA.
