A Burgess Hill First
Well, why does not the council make
more of something which first happened in
Burgess Hill before the rest of the country?
It was in the News of the World where I learnt
that in 2003 Burgess Hill was the first place
in Britain where an ASBO was ordered. I think
Asbo House would make a charming name for
the proposed new town council building.
The recipient of this
first was Ricky Fitzgerald, now aged 29. The
NOTW tells us that his brother Jimmy, 17,
has just received one ordering to stay away
from his older brother because he is a bad
influence.
Not that it looks like
that it looks like it would be easy to find
him, anyway. Ricky is now a wanted man. He
should have appeared at Lewes Crown Court
on 25 May, standing trial for burglary, robbery
and, aherm (cough), breaching an Anti-Social
Behaviour Order.
Now, after his no-show,
he is sought in connection with a theft at
a Tesco Express store in Burgess Hill.
Naked
Woman In Lindfield
Brighton artist, Tasmin Williams, intended
riding horseback naked through Lindfield High
Street to promote charity night at The Gallery.
Only, disaster struck and appeals had to be
made to find a back-up horse. They found one,
but The Gallery owner, Nigel Ryan, said "it
wasn't until we got there we realised the
horse was too big." For the horsebox,
actually, before you starting making your
own jokes.
In a delightful attempt
at spin, Nigel says, "The spectacle was
the fact we didn't actually do it." There
is a picture of Tasmin in the Leader. We see
a naked rear view with the caption "Tasteful"!
Leylands
Ward Local Action Team
For the first time ever the Leylands Ward
Local Action Team have actually put a leaflet
through my letterbox. Yes, a leaflet through
Gill Balsdons' problem "Saunders family"
letterbox. They are holding a public meeting
on 13 June.
I might have gone.
Only, not now. Why a leaflet now? Hell, it
must be a trap! Frank Milligan, Tim Wickham
and Gill Balsdon will all be there. So, I
think it best if I'm not. I may be mad, but
I am not masochistic.
