Oakham People, Leicester Mercury

A short time ago I received a begging  email  from Charles who is responsible for this site

http://www.oakhampeople.co.uk/home

I was asked to post some of my stories and photographs, at first I said know because my experience of the admin was not a good one.

Yesterday I decided to post this blog post

This morning it was deleted and my account blocked.

So when the site invites you to post any views or moans about your council don't believe it.
Keep your moans to late bin collections and you will be fine.
