Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Yes but guidance and sanctions if required are set by responsible parenting, or should be. I can see no reason whatsoever for a six year old to have a smart phone. Especially as most of them seem to have lost the skill of walking and are taken to and from school in cars.

That's a welcome report Peter. Small signs that something might be happening in US politics.... THIS caught my attention..... I wonder if it is significant or just an isolated judgement?

Re: BE Bosom Friends Information and Fund Raising Events
Just had a call from TalkTalk business regarding our broadband installation at Green Street. Thankfully, reasonably straightforward to move forwards. There is already an Open Reach node on the outside wall of the Frank Street property but that will have to be moved as there is a shop frontage to go ...

Re: Blood Donors
All previous sessions held in Barlick were always well attended. The problem is not the donors but the shortage and reluctance of staff to travel as far as Barlick. I have communicated with NHSBT about this and Barlick is considered just a bit too far out for both Lancashire and Yorkshire teams. The...

Re: May I recommend. . .
I would take exception at the statement that the town switched allegiance to Lancashire. I would think that most Barlicker's who know where they are and the fact that the Ridings are still in statute would take exception to that also. West Riding of Yorkshire please, argue with the Danes if you want...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
On a lighter note, Wharfedale 14's against Ilkley. A very close run game. They were level up to 1 min before full time when Ilkley were awarded a penalty, successfully kicked so the score ended at Ilkley 15, Wharfedale 12. As always in Rugby the game ended with congratulations all round and medals f...

Going to support our Finlay at Rugby.
Wharfedale 14's are in the YC Plate Final against Ilkley on the 1st team pitch. Should be a good match. We are booked for Sunday lunch in the clubhouse after the game.

Re: BE Bosom Friends Information and Fund Raising Events
They were celebrating Octoberfest at the bar Stanley.
Tonight it's quiz night at St Joseph's in conjunction with our gym KL Health Hub. There will be music as required, a pie and pea supper, raffle and possibly a round of "sit down bingo". Bar will be staffed so It should be a good night.
