I have been following the Parking Con thread with glee over the past few days and thought I would pose these questions for evaluation because this is what I have been asking myself......... Is "Petra".... 1) A spokesperson planted by the council to counteract negativity on here 2) An independent person who has positive views about our local authority and wishes to express them with us 3) A wind up merchant enjoying themselves or 4) non of the above ????? Discuss. PS. Petra, if you can be open and honest please that would be very much appreciated. Sincerely, Biker.

Although Lady Haw Haw (Petra) does sound like someone from the top echelons of the council, the way she talks in riddles without making too much sense, she obviously is not! The simple reason being that top echelons of our councils do not enter into debate with the plebs do they? Nor do they read this Forum. Mildly amusing though!

Vexatious Candidate?

Woops, sorry I asked! I was not asking them to "out" themselves as I would not any other person on here. There has been the odd occasion when someone has come on here promoting an activity or business in which they have an interest, but apart from that I have never experienced anyone on here with such candour for any organisation. I was therefore intrigued by the sentiment of their replies and wondered why they took such an extreme stance in favour of the council and their activities. Some on here have made the assertion that "Petra" is a council spokesperson. I thought it relevant to the debate if this was verified. In other words, don't make assumptions on who, if anyone, they represent and then criticise me for attempting to clarify the matter.

It was a reasonable ask and generated a response and so proved a few of us are still actually alive. You are quite right it is intriguing, the only thing I can think is that she might be User's mum... (Sorry User, you don't deserve that!)

I'm not sure you are being criticised; however, I doubt you are going to get the right answers here.

I also think an official from the police and other agencies should come on here in an official capacity and answer questions.

QUOTE (GMR @ Mar 31 2015, 05:44 PM) Are you suggesting that she takes drugs? And would that be just her or all of WBC? And if so would that include the Greenmeanie as well? Just a little play on words.
