The council didn't want anything to do with it and the locals formed working bees and made it a show piece.<br /><br />They have just been warned by the council to desist, as they do not have council permission.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-85847103056424989072011-08-27T23:16:47.112+10:002011-08-27T23:16:47.112+10:00Maggie Thatcher once said that the problem with so...Maggie Thatcher once said that the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.<br /><br />I guess she has been proven wrong in this day and age.

I thought it was well over a trillion these days, and I've seen estimates as high as 4 or 4 trillion when you start adding all the unfunded liability chickens that must one day come home to roost.
