There is just about 15 hours left until 2009, and now it’s an ideal opportunity for Councillors Jon-Paul Howarth, Tony McCabe, and myself to take this opportunity to wish you all a “Happy New Year”. Hopefully, many of those pessimistic predictions will turnout to be incorrect, but unfortunately I don’t think we are in for a great 2009.
Over the last few days I have been out and about in the ward with Jon-Paul delivering Calendars to all the local residents within East Marsh, and hopefully before midday (or just after) everyone within the ward should have received a New Year’s message from your three Liberal Democrat Councillors.
On Monday when we were delivering in the multi storey flats Jon-Paul was telling me that he had grown in height by another three inches; I said: “Your joking are you sure your not standing in a grow bag”. I honestly could not believe my ears; that he had gained an extra 3 inches - that makes him 6 foot 8 eight inches, and he could potentially still grow a few more inches.
Well with “wee Davie Boylen” at 5 foot 3 and half inches in our Liberal Democrat Group, and Jon-Paul Howarth at 6 foot 8 inches - have we got the longest and shortest Councillor both in same Council – it must be a “Record Breaker”. I have just worked it out (and if Dave hasn’t shrunk since his hey day at Blundell Park); the difference between the two Councillors is a whopping 3 foot 4 and half inches – that on its own needs to be in the Guinness Book of World Records – yes, North East Lincolnshire Councillors are “record breakers”.
