WHEN THE WEB IS ON THE BLINK and the email's in a stink, who's to help? Aha! De de de de de de de de de de de de de de de de .. .
RASP MAN!!!
Or not, as has lately been the case, but up until relatively recently, not a bad approximation of the case. Not for Village Broadband users the delights of the Delhi Help Desk and extortionate call-out fees, but a real RASP man on their doorstep, who we might also have persuaded to fix other bits of computer while he was at it. But then.. .well, Letters tells the story.
But is our Community broadband to fold? Not a bit of it, everyone has remembered why they wanted it in the first place. A revitalised band has sprung into action and among other things fixed the Crier's email. Long may it last!
Letters also contains what appears to be the start of a debate about the abolishment, by Higher More Knowledgeable Powers, of the Parish Council's Any Other Business Section. This will stop a lot of ills, say Hazel Williams and Mark Lewinski, but our Reporter's 20+years on the PC Desk make him more doubtful, and meanwhile, the Crier (which should also be publishing the Agenda before the meeting?) confidently anticipates news of the ills this new regulation will start.
Take note of our Cover Picture this month readers, and don't recycle it. Clive Riggs is now in the official Who's Who of British Artists - congratulations Clive; it was well-deserved: Swaffham Prior is a very artistic village.
Lots to catch up on in this issue (actually, the first since mid-December - that's when January's goes to press) and we hope you enjoy it.
Many thanks to the WI (and our loyal proposers) for this year's Gay Bulleid Award, we'll try to live up to it., apologies for incorrectly reporting the theft of Bottisham lead last month (it was a minor break-in) and see you Quizzing! We're not coming bottom again..
