I was interested to read in the recent report of the parish council meeting that Torridge District Council won’t be installing street lighting at Tucker’s Park as promised. Ray Ham will probably go apoplectic, but if residents of Tucker’s Park would like to, they are more than welcome to dig up the one outside our house and move it to wherever they want to site it in Tucker’s Park.
For anyone who’s interested the word millenium is spelt millennium. And just to prove it’s not just me and the Australian Prime Minister who reckon we’ve got the date wrong... Hythe Borough Council, representing 15,000 inmates on the Kent-Surrey border voted 11-4 to carry the motion that “Hythe shows its independence and common sense by greeting the 21st century and the third millennium on the correct date of 1st January 2001... computers have addled people’s brains with the number 2000”. Please write or phone your new parish councillor and ask them to support a similar motion in Bradworthy.
Thanks to Miss Claire Balsdon, aged 11 years, for providing this month’s cover drawing. Also thanks to our Scandinavian lassie, Elaine Foster, for providing the jokes this month. Sexist rubbish, I’ll have to have a word with her next time she’s back in Blighty!
The deadline for the next issue is the 20th June. Items of interest or otherwise to the editor, Phil Mayhall, Hillcrest, Lower Village please (tel 241748, fax 241167, email editor@bradworthy.co.uk)
Last month I had hoped to have the Bradworthy News website up and running on tamachain.com but it took ‘til nearly the end of the month for this to happen. In the meantime its also moved (and been re-designed, if that’s the word) to its new permanent home which is www.bradworthy.com (if you can’t surf the web this stuff must be real boring!!).
Disclaimer: This month’s disclaimer has been translated into ancient Greek for the benefit of our many ancient Greek readers. It’s actually the same as last month’s, but ancient Greek letters have so much more meaning then our Anglo-Saxon letters, so it’s a lot shorter.Disclaimer his month’s disclaimer has been translated into ancient Greek for the benefit of our many ancient Greek readers t’s actually the same as last month’s but ancient Greek letters have so much more meaning then our nglo Saxon letters so it’s a lot shorter
