I am surprised you are going David, I thought you were against all these waste of money type events or are you hoping to get your picture in the local rag standing next to someone in fancy regalia.
Thats a fair point Jan, I'm open to accusations of hypocrisy. I was at a function on saturday where a certain district councillor performed her very best "don't you know who I am?" act, much to the disdain of those around her.
In my defence, having been invited it would be rude to decline, and to clarify, I'm not against ceremony and tradition, I'm also not against councillors full stop, its just that there are too many of them and instead of doing whats right for the town they spend their time bickering and scoring political points.
Of course the other deciding factor is there's a buffet, and I'm a freeloader par excellence.
