“I just wanted you all, you Aughton & Downholland taxpayers and voters, to know how well your, our, Cllr Sam Currie is doing in London. OK, I know he isn’t here to report potholes and un-swept streets, blocked drains, local flooding, but he is here now, with us, virtually, and earning his council stipend.

“Mind you, he’s had a bit of bother, as he told us on twitter “Delighted to say that my dining chairs were delivered by @Wayfair yesterday. I’m glad they didn’t call or email to tell me to be at home to expect them. Absolutely top notch. Left neatly behind a small hedge out of the sight of small dogs. In the rain.

“Oh and a special thanks to @Wayfair who ensured all passers by could see what I’d bought and now have in my home by leaving my personal details on an a4 sheet in the open box at the front. Great work, guys”.

“Oh dear, he’s seems a bit peed off! But our thoughts and sympathy are with him, well mine, at least if not yours in Aughton & Downholland”.

Well, that’s all for now. Look out for my pearls of wisdom and news, won’t you!
