www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5912811/Kent-village-embroiled-in-row-over-road-name.html

So this story in the paper amused me so I've found these Telegraph articles. This Geoff Cornes blokes sounds like a right cunt, I'm glad he doesn't live near me.

Have you ever had to fight THE MAN about something many would consider slightly pointless?

EDIT - Sorry Abberacion, didn't mean to upstage your thread.

The ponces in a village on the outskirts of Luton wanted a postcode change.
Because LU1 hiked up their insurance premiums. What utter cocks, nobody in LU1 has any insurance, as there is nothing worth nicking, and they are very hard.

Charity biscuits
50p a bag of two chocky chips biscuits. What a rip off.

charities are all evil and make you
wait in the house all day while selling overpriced biscuits laced with smugness

That's right.
But these came to the office and are for children in need.

"What about me in need" I said. How we laughed.

I live in a small rural village and I can relate to this.
The sort of arse that joins the parish council has usually been in the village 5 minutes and instantly starts changing things, usually ugly road signs start cropping up. Then there's a bit of a hoo-hah and they are taken down again.

It's all go in the country.

I'd like to act surprised
that some guy in a village doesn't have anything better to do with his life than spend three years causing grief over a fucking change of street name that he doesn't like.

But I can't.

This is all utterly par for the course.
