SteamyTea Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 My sister was a parish councillor once. They used to 'forget' to tell her than a meeting was happening. Odd that, as I never invited her to anything either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

District council's biggest boomer goes to to county council. County council's biggest boomer goes to westminster & westminster's biggest boomer becomes PM” Edited February 5, 2021 by daiking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 3000 comments. Perhaps we could host a video version of the BuildHub Corona virus thread discussion as a reality TV experiment then upload the video to YouTube and share the ad income fairly. * Income estimated from what sailing vLoggers get per million views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're on to something, I can think of a few other threads that could pull in the money - although @Onoff 's bathroom thread would be like Corrie or the Archers (40 years & counting...)

ToughButterCup Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Know what folks? They tried. They can get better. The vast majority of Parish Councils would not have dared think about doing that. Still a pile of idiots though innit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really hilarious thing is they don't approve anything - they can only comment on planning applications - and their collective misinformed idiotic comment carries as much weight as any other comment from a parishioner or whomever. Our PC hasn't got anyone with any idea about planning - so their comments are ridiculous - and of course the Council can only take into account comments that raise planning issues, i.e. points of planning law. So basically they ignore everything the PC says.... Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local authority planners told them to sling their hook. They reported another property for something similar and were told the same. Some of the discussions in the minutes are hilarious.
