Bought a couple of books recently off eBay published years ago. Owned by libraries in places like Hull. Pristine condition. Looks like they've never had a page turned. Society should have access to libraries but there's 2 in Caterham. One small one on the hill and one large one in the valley. Both have 2 people working in them. There is dial a ride if you can't get to one of them. Edited by Rudi Hedman (22 Apr 2017 5.38pm) COYP

Vote Tory and punch yourself in the face. No one who is a ceo of a local authority should be paid more than 50k a year simple.....because if it's a private company it's just that PRIVATE....a local authority is funded by the public....is that really that hard to understand.....get off your soapbox for a minute and think about it. always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

How do you attract the best if they can just go to the private sector? Although it seems a lot, Tis mere peanuts in the corporate world. Any news on Merkel writing the ludicrous terms of Greece's bail out (that only bailed out the financial sector and sold off public services on the cheap)?

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger When has the media ever been unbiased? People need to be more media savvy in a changing world. Dodging the point somewhat. The level of what you're calling "media savvy" out there in the populace is, in my view, on a downward spiral. It's very much in the mass media's (and their advertising customers) interests for it to be so. As the populace as a whole spend more and more time on devices and less and less time actually thinking for themselves, do you see levels of "media savvy" increasing? Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)
