The Stony Stratford Effect

I hope you don't mind, but I'll just leave this here as a permanent reminder that it did happen.


The leap into the top 20 is undoubtedly due to the Stony Stratford event which garnered one hell of a lot of attention. As such, everyone who viewed this blog in July, linked to it, or retweeted articles, has been instrumental in bumping us up from 24 to 17.

Please consider yourself enthusiastically virtually hugged by a grateful Dick.

As previously mentioned, this month will probably prove to be very sparse by comparison so a big fall will be in the offing, but if you're new to this 'ere tabloid guff please pull up a pew and make yourself a cuppa. You're most welcome.

Top job! At least I don't feel 100% useless then. I wanted to come down meself, but wanting a few bevvies too would have meant a return ticket from the Democratic Communist Republic of Wakefield was £130...and for that I didn't think I'd be missed ;)

"Bartlett is telling the Dungeon Master he has the support of senior town councillors, the fairies, the elves and also the pixies at the bottom of his garden,to ban smoking in cars in Stony Stratford?"

*edited for reasons of journalistic integrity.

The man is clearly 'over the madness horizon and accelerating hard'.




....Councillor Hookah Smoking Caterpillar however has said he will refuse to support Bartlett

I don't want to be hugged by a grateful dick, thank you.
Well done.

Callie and SBC: Yes, I did see that. Not sure it's Bartlett telling them that, more lazy hackism IMO.

Bartlett undeterred....

'Some councils, including Warrington in Cheshire and Stony Stratford, near Milton Keynes, are planning to outlaw smoking in cars carrying children.

Stony Stratford councillor Paul Bartlett said the campaign had the support of senior members of the town council, but would need the approval of Milton Keynes Council.'
