It must be the temptation of the free gifts offered by Viking direct because it is most certainly not the price.
Would it not be much greener of the council to use Coleman's across the road? certainly much cheaper.

At the last meeting Councillor were congratulating Cllr Charles Haworth for all his hard
work organising the Jubilee Party, I wonder if they knew he had just thrown large sums
of money to outside companies to do all the work. It seems he may have run a few trips
in his car to Poundland and Home Bargains, I am not sure if that warranted a standing
ovation. I noticed he was out of bed before 6pm so that must deserve a little praise.
The lack of sleep was probably the reason for his disgusting behaviour in Cutts Close
days before the party.
