Peoples herosMonday 21 January 2008 14:29Cabinet Office (National) Do you have a local hero? Prime Minister Gordon Brown is calling on communities across the country to identify the local heroes who they believe should be honoured by the nation. http://www.gnn.gov.uk/Content/Det...ReleaseID=346426&NewsAreaID=2 To me one greatest hero is the captain who got that Boeing 777 down at Heathrow with out power, whatever the reason it was that was the cause. At the other end of "heros" must be the King of Frinton, for his work in having built the most expensive white elephant seen thrown up from the ground in years... And the post bag entry in todays Gazette had me falling out my chair with laughter...(no, it was not me)...lol |

Ooooeer ,tink I should keep quiet then Ivan ,I saw it after my boy spotted it and asked who Lol was  .
Don't regret it ,meant every word and if Iggy Wiggy has the hump...........TOUGH.He should be locked in each of the areas public toilets for one night on each one and see if he feels so damn smug then. My particular heroes in this area are the coastguards and lifeboat crew who give freely of their time for the good of others.They do a great job and have to cope with an awful lot ,so my award goes to them all.Whenever I hear a distress flare I pray for the crew and hope that they are all safe at the end of the day.Goodness knows how the wives and families feel whilst thier loved ones put their lives on the line for those less fortunate. |

Now I want to know what the Postbag letter said, thought the Gazettes only came out on Thursday so which Gazette is this one ? |
| Lin |
Pepsi
it was in last nights EG ,stuff pilched off the EG website ,guess which Grumpy Old Womans comments they chose 
Along the lines of ... 'lock 'em all inside the blasted loo's ',I am furious that they wasted so much money on one group of elitist ,heads firmly up their rear ends lot.Especially when lots of other REALLY USEFUL projects have been scrapped.

Love it Lin,
Like you, I am not impressed with half a mil going on a set of bogs for Frinton, have noticed lately that a lot of money seems to be flying in Frintons direction. No parking charges, more wanted to restore old sea front shelters etc. I'm afraid that I think Iggy Wiggy is still in the driving seat behind the scene and the elctorate voting in so many TF candidates was an absolute disaster - they are like the Essex mafia ! |

Do you think that seeing as it's Lin, the Essex mafia might do her cement wellies in a fetching shade of pink? |
| pepsi |
Don't think so Vicar, they are too heartless, not too keen on helping poor old ladies  however with all the sheep that follow them in the TDC they may be prepared to provide some sheepskin linings to the cement wellies

We could always super glue the Frinton gates, refuse them access through Walton, tie them together by the legs, but you bet, they would still manage to pick the fruits from the Weeley tree. |

One of my children (now grown up) always refers to Frinton as The Dog Poo Town.
She did this for years (still does) and eventually we asked her why she called it that ,her answer was because the people there all walk with their noses up in the air and as a small child she presumed it was because of the smell of dog poo. By the way ,I've hidden me wellies and if the mafia come to get me  ,I shall assume 'the Starfish ' position (you know the one ,the one that small children do when attempting to put them in the buggy ,arms and legs outstretched to make life really difficult )actually ,my cat does that too when I try to put her out at night.
This Old Girl won't go without a fight...............
