Ah yes indeed Keef..when I first came here and new nobody at all, not a soul, not a sausage, I started buying the local paper to actually try and get to know where I was and something about what was going on...a name that continually popped up in those pages in those days was Cllr Margaret Sansum. After I was here a while I eventually had an exchange of letters with her, I think she was asking for correspondence on local issues, and I think I wrote to her something about the seafront fountains and probably a few other things, and she was very good. I rememebr that I was amazed she took the trouble. That was just prior to widespread email.
I didnt know she had this wild offspring with left footed leanings called Keith, who was a radical council high flyer.....
otherwise I may have hid behind the sofa
lol
