QUOTE (CBW137Y @ Nov 17 2010, 07:35 PM)  This was done to save money on road closure. Some people may have considered it as thoughtless, and others think spending the money to close the roads thoughtless, also. Umm - just glad those who gave their lives didn't have that attitude. Must admit, I didn't find it thoughtless - simply rude and disrespectful. Saving money on rememberance sunday - crass to say the least! -------------------- Know your place!

QUOTE (factsonly @ Nov 17 2010, 03:59 PM) Hungerford's lights are pretty much the work of one town councillor who spends weeks of his own time checking the bulbs and supervising the erection (erhum!). They are funded by Hungerford Town Council and local businesses. And yep, they are certainly the best around for many miles. Now if Newbury had just one or two dedicated councillors, and support from businesses then perhaps they could have something more worthwhile also. Why does it have to be an councillor that does this, why not anyone who lives in the town, or anyone who doesn't and has some connection with it for that matter? |

Saving money on rememberance sunday - crass to say the least! It was simply because the road closure was already in place on Rememerance Sunday which cost about £2k (the time I am speaking of isapprox four/five years ago now). Be it disrepectful or not, I'm just letting you know why it was done then. |

QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 17 2010, 09:09 PM) You make it sound like I care about whether I'm a hypocrite or not. I don't, but you dunnarf come out with some right old ill-timed drivel. Thank you, but I must give credit where credit is due. Every bit of drivel I learnt I learnt it from the best: i.e. you. Before I came into contact with you I was normal... so thanks for rescuing you. |

With all this 'lively forum chatter/friendly banter' isn't it about time we heard from our old mate Vbird again?
Oh look.... Vbird has posted on the 'Alopecia UK Online Forum' Baldies United QUOTE Hello - I feel a bit weird posting this as I'm a bit of a techphobe and haven't ever posted anything on a forum before, so advance apologies if I break with tradition or etiquette: please feel free to put me straight, as I want to stay.
