Re: Transport in Barnoldswick

A day silver gets you all the way to Preston,

Never tried to go beyond Burnley, but understand it will go as far as Blackburn.

Have to admit I do like the Manchester "Witch" bus, especially with the price of car parking there.

Catty, perhaps accumulating all those numbers appeals to the puzzle fanatics who enjoy OGFB? I'll continue being old-fashioned and and using the word `thanks'. And instead of pressing buttons to thank Doc I pay my subs to support his wonderful endeavours (well Mrs Tiz pays, if I'm honest!). I hope ...

The spin doctors are all fired up by Aardman Animations comments about their great heroes Wallace and Gromit bearing a great likeness to wierd Ed.

The NHS bill should go through this week, and then it appears to be onto Lords reform.

Re: Superstore developments

Ann in the Rainhall Centre is trying to run a food festival on the 31st March, which I believe is a celebration of homemade food.

Maybe you can ask her to join in and put it in the events here.

Re: BEWARE! THE BANKS ARE OUT TO GET YOU!

Yes, and those pension fund people need to make a return of about 7% per annum to ensure pension funds stay in the black and provide revenue to their clients.

That number is compounded.

Re: CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING

It is possible that a similar camera from LCC will be played with in Southfield on Thursday. Weather dependant. If I get there I will report back.

The LEAF application made the B&E too, and the decision is expected to be Monday although it has already been postponed once.

Re: Superstore developments

There used to be a market, held on the co-op car park. It died

To be viable you would have to change shopping habits, and get those people who drive out of town to the superstores to actually walk into the town centre.

There could be an opportunity for car boots, as bargains do tend to draw in folk

I switched off the interview because it contained the pontificating Polly.

Maybe we should go with your suggestion Stanley and shut all the banks. It would be the easiest way to show who was actually correct.

Understand that the 16th is for the magistrates court, where it will be referred upwards.

Minimum sentence is custodial, so he'll be out of the house too if found guilty.

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

The cherry picker did all the cctv in the town, as I also saw him do the ones outside the police station later.

CCTV is only watched if "something happens", from what I can gather.

The item I found most interesting was building in the extra 10% to the costs, for no real reason I've ever discovered a private company doing so. I agree with you about the potential costs of moving the cenotaph, I fear it would necessitate some fairly specialist gear to be involved, road closures, ...

I may be missing something, but Wierd Ed today seems to have managed not to lay a glove on the Cameroon

Nice to see that Bercow wasn't completely asleep, but if it was a prize fight I think that he would have stopped it.

Re: The Barlick War Memorial Group

Quotes were at the West Craven Area Committee last night for the Memorial Gardens

£44,000 without the 'new' bit of moving the cenotaph into it.

No budget currently, and the Town Council has only put £10,000 aside for next year

Hopefully I have attached the relevant document
