Is this 100% true Glenda, because I know you.

A member of the WB11 does not know about a forum on this website?  Sorry if I seem a bit sceptical.

Yes pet

Is the page boy back yet?

umtali attached the following image(s):

OK I will come clean (so to speak)

He is definately male, or he has been living a very good lie for many, many years, and even convinced his wife.

It all started because I called him Glenda, after a certain well known actress. That is all I can say on the matter because certain people do like to keep an air of mystery about themselves on this forum. Whereas everybody knows me

100% (ish) male. I still maintain the member of the W.B. 11 did not know about the forum at the time of the W.W.W. Neither he or I would lie.

Many thanks for your response Well Known Norm.

It would appear you are willing to believe Jacko but I still have my doubts.

I think your suggestion that the Whaley Eleven should have a poll at their next meeting to see who admits to knowing about this forum is an excellent idea.

Perhaps CllrJonG could facilitate this and report his findings back to forum members in due course.

Would this be possible CllrJonG?

Good afternoon R. S-S

I must admit that when I read your post I initially thought you were still suffering from the effects of sunstroke as your contribution was timed at 10:42 and you start with “Good afternoon”! However, on reading the subsequent remarks it is evident that you have fully recovered from the effects of the overseas sun as the comments are back to your articulate, entertaining and informative best.

You have obviously not adjusted your watch to British Summer Time and I would suggest that you do this immediately to avoid future confusion.

I too am also struggling to accept that a member of The Whaley Eleven is unaware of the existence of this forum. Jacko is still maintaining that his old friend on the JGTC told him he did not know about the forum. Well Known Norm has come out and stated he believes Jacko, and as R S-S, you have previously said you know Well Known Norm personally, and have stated he is a man of undoubted integrity, I'm not sure what to think.

Jacko stated his old friend on The Whaley Eleven was male and has had a picture placed on this forum of him dressed up. We can therefore rule out Cllr Linda Leather, Cllr Anne Winter, Cllr Susanne Lomas and Cllr Jean Horsfall-Brunt on the grounds they are female.

We can also rule out Cllr Ron Bowden, and Cllr Andrew Wild as they have not been pictured dressed up on this forum.

This leaves us with Cllrs Goldfinch, Swift, Lomax, Pritchard, Taylor and Ray Wild.

So assuming Jacko is telling the truth, which one of these councillors would tell him they don't know of the existence of this forum?

CllrJonG and JohnP have contributed to this forum so we can rule them out.

Cllr John Swift is fully aware of this forum as evidenced by the removal of the scrap yard he used to keep in the Goyt Valley.

Cllr Barrie Taylor has been pictured naked apart from his socks and shoes. Does this amount to being dressed up? Possibly?

From my investigations Jacko's old friend can only be Cllr David Lomax, Cllr Barrie Taylor or Cllr Ray Wild.

So who is the local councillor who is a stranger to the truth or is so stupid it beggars belief?

Is it Cllr David Lomax the former prospective Lib Dem M P for Tatton?

Could it be Cllr Barrie Taylor Derbyshire County Councillor?

Or is it Cllr Ray Wild the quiet man from Furness Vale?

During your absence R. S-S, Well Known Norm suggested we should have a poll at the next meeting of the JGTC to see which councillors have heard of the forum. I have asked CllrJonG if this is possible but unusually he has not responded.

As previously stated by many other members, this forum is a major asset to Whaley Bridge and I am still struggling to understand why only one member of the Town Council can appreciate this fact.

Finally R. S-S, I do note your comments regarding the potential action from the Forum Police. However, before you are frogmarched to The Pleasure Ground please would you be kind enough to publish the old photo's of Horwich End which you previously promised you would do. I fully understand the reasons for not publishing them until now, but hopefully it is now safe to reveal Horwich End's very own skyscraper. I think I know where the “skyscraper” was but I'm looking forward to having this confirmed.

Well, Good Evening to all of you.

I have read the last few posts on this topic with interest. However, I just have to say that really and truly does it matter if any of the Councillors know about this Forum or not? What is important is the question do they actually care about Whaley Bridge and its residents.

I'm afraid that I believe the answer to that is "No".

I think HE was looking for an Agenda for the next Council Meeting with little success. I say again, our Council really does not want the residents of Whaley Bridge to know what they will be discussing at their Meeting. They do not care. They consider themselves to be big fish, but conveniently forget that the pond is very small.

However, it is, to a certain extent, our fault. If more people applied when there was a vacancy, there would have to be an election. One by one we could rid ourselves of these inactive and inarticulate Councillors..........but who wants to be a Councillor?

May I also welcome back my old friend R.S-S. Good to hear from you again.

I'm still waiting for a statement from Whaley Bridge Town Council about the loss of the Transhipment Warehouse and the Whaley Wharf as a community/multi purpose centre BUT I think it will be a long time coming.

The Buxton Advertiser carried an article on 17th.June in which both Linda Leather and David Lomax expressed regret at the loss of the new bridge AND there was no mention of the loss of what we all want  - a community centre i.e. The Transhipment Warehouse Project funding. They don't seem to care! 

We were oh so near, two years ago (East Midlands Development Agency funding) and are now we are a liftetime away. Nobody reading this will ever see it built  I regret.

Why on earth did 'they' (the     11) add it to the Bingswood new Goyt bridge. Their 'greed' means we have lost everything and it must, by now, have cost, in total, well over £100k for four consultations, the first  going back a generation. The last consukltation cost £50k and was not finished, and we have NOTHING to show for it. Then there is all the officers time High Peak spent on the second bridge project. That would add up to thousands I expect. It is our money they are spending so easily with no results.

Would it have been been best for the Olympic Bid Committee to have lumped their 2012 bid with the Football World Cup 2018 bid?

 I DON'T THINK SO! Nor did the Olympic Bid Committee!
