I come and go on Gransnet and have just returned after a break to find some really interesting topics. durhamjen is so up there with all the facts and must do such a lot of reading. She knows just how to put her finger on relevant information which is very useful to us all on here. She's evidently a driven woman - ideal for the above post. whitewave would make an admirable deputy.
I'm making a bid for Parliament here in Melton Mowbray as we are about central and we already have a huge new barely used building 9they call it the Council offices but not much goes on in there). While we are at it I was once told by the Chairman of a large meeting I was addressing when working as a Nurse Manager that I should be Minister for Health so if Galen already has the job can I be her deputy please?
It does indeed have a Pedigree factory and was the largest employer in the town but its all automated now and hidden away behind landscaping. It also has a large pork pie and associated products (Samworth/Ginsters) factory again beautifully landscaped and no smells from either we only get pong from whatever the farmers put on fields like anywhere else. The Arla (Tuxford and Tebbit Stilton and Red Leicester cheese factory is right in the middle of town) - its just a dairy processing plant again no smells. Just for the record I don't eat or even like any of this stuff . Why am I saying all this? Anyway the council offices I am commending to you are a modern glass box between the park and the railway station which is very twee with a nice signal box and we get steam trains as well. I will shut up now - don't know what's got into me.
ps why isn't it the House of Lords and Ladies or the House of Lords. And why are the female Lords called Baronesses if a Baron is lower in rank than a Lord? Anyone know?
