MAYOR'S DIGEST

For those who sometimes miss Dr Pangloss's 'The Best Of All Possible Worlds' column here is a brief resume of the last few months:

No bed of roses … decades to achieve … crumbling infrastructure … make Victor Meldrew look like a born optimist … prestige business park … yours truly … reinvent this place … situation I inherited in 2005 … business incubator units … TDA … higher spending visitors … same old faces who write to the paper … commissioning model … council’s reshaping exercise …yours truly … turning the tide … the ‘no’brigade … vehicle to deliver regeneration projects … yours truly … met with entrepreneurs … greatly improved GCSE results … yours truly … sense of frustration … same old moaning minnies … consultation now under way … oh dear somebody must have got their wires crossed … lurid headline … same tedious old shits writing to the paper … Dibley Alliance getting their comeuppance … Prunella Scales mixed up in this campaign … probably should be stoned to death … all know the problems that I’ve inherited …same old moaning Victor Meldrew-type bastards who write to the paper … Oh dear! Yours truly definitely back in the doghouse … dull old world (or Cote de Westphalia) if we all thought alike … how best to brand it … ‘Business Phalia’ … ‘Mystery Phalia’ … Yours truly … ‘Complete Phalia'.

You've missed out the two most used phrases...."Westphalia has been asleep for twenty years" and "Westphalia is awakening from a deep slumber"
There are those of us who wish it had been asleep for twenty years!
We wish "Yours Truly" would have a little doze!(or a very long one actually.)
