Speaking of potholes, has anyone heard much from the Tooting Tiger recently?

Maybe Superdoc came into contact with Krypton and has been laid low. But I then realised it's another franchise so it wouldn't be Krypton, but 'Crapton'.
Can't say he's missed.

Isn't he up for re-election in May? Would have expected him to be doing a 'Loadsamoney Lindridge' & getting his name associated with as many 'achievements' as possible (regardless if whose they actually were).  Oh, hang on there, actually ... wasn't that so 2018? ...  ::)

To be fair, there are roads in all areas of the town being repaired / resurfaced, obviously there are lots still to do but it's a start...Incidentally, It's the house next door to Mr and Mr that's up for sale.

Hmmmm, I know of one road on the list that's just had them round to fill the pot-holes. Ran out of money?

So 2018 it is, but I suspect that, come 2020, we'll be asking 'wasn't that so 2019?'.
It has started already :- LL had the pixies out on Saturday (I didn't see him but he could have been out as well) delivering his latest Ward Newsletter to the residents of Fens & Rossmere Ward, telling how he tried to keep the ward together in the current ward boundary shake up, postulating that we may be having a new 'Cafe in the Park' (in Rossmere - Oh Dear! don't they ever learn?) and generally claiming credit for getting the council to do what it should already be doing. To my way of thinking, if a councillor has to intervene to get the council to do it's job, then the council is broken and getting it fixed is what councillors should be bending thier minds too.

There is already a Cafe in the Park at Rossmere, I think a young lady runs it and from what I can gather it does ok......As for Loadsa Money, I think he will have it all on to retain his seat, if he uses social media to boast about his achievements in Fens he could end up with egg on his face.....Taking the money he "didn't really need" will haunt any campaign he runs.

Will the old popular cafe be replaced by a new 'Cafe on the Pond' with fancy coffee and twee cakes? One good thing is, there's a wealth of advice on hand in the chamber on how NOT to run a cafe. ;D

I've heard that with the announcement of the development of Wallywood Studios (aka the bus depot) the first film to be made will be a remake of the classic 'The African Queen' using Rozzy Park and Safari World for the location shots. Is it true certain people been offered cameo roles? Hippo's are hard to source in Hartlepool at this time of year.
Rumour also has it they're moving the 'Wusting  Wingfield' up there and sprucing it up as the Royal Yacht? Surely not!

Surely not? But then again I've seen a python swallow a pig,  so I suppose it's possible. The ego question on the other hand may well be insatiable. However, to get an ego you need praise heaped on by the trowel, which begs the question, who'd praise them?
