ONE item on the agenda at a meeting of Clitheroe Town Council was whether or not to buy the town’s mayor a cocked hat to wear. The town clerk. Mr W. S. Weeks, said that mayors in other towns usually wore a cocked hat with their robes and he thought he would like to see Glithe- roe’s mayor look as well as the mayors of other boroughs. After much discussion it was eventually agreed to buy the mayor a ' cocked hat.

CHORISTER Jonathan Cunliffe from Waddington was really hitting the high notes after being named Britain’s number one choir boy. The 14-year-old Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil competed against 15 other national fi­ nalists at St. George’s Church, Hanover Square, London, rising magnificently to the occasion despite having a cold. ■ O The owner of Clitheroe’s rounda­ bout filling station on Chatburn Road,

CAN more or less guarantee on a Monday morning \^ien all my col­ leagues settle at their desks for a day’s hard graft that one of us, in our


predominantly female office, will re­ call a story about a “heinous crime”, her. man has committed over, the weekend. Now, I hasten to add, I’m not talking


about .“crimes” like adultery that seem to feature in today’s tabloids almost on a daily basis. I’m referring to those everyday “crimes” that confirm to women every­ where we were the only sex to have been ' blessed with common sense.-

tor, and guess what he did?”.asks one col­ league. “He only bled the radiator of its water and not the air! There were puddles of dirtj'water all over the carpet!” . We all laugh at the image, while at the


same time nientally recall memories of our man committing a DIY crime. Our male colleagues meanwhile remain


silent. They hear everything, but don’t have the inclination to join in with such “tittle-tattle”. During lunch, a different colleague

when I eventually, do get one, I get up to discover the baby still hasn’t had any breakfast, the house is a pigsty and my husband is so stressed that he needs to go back to bed!” At this point all her female colleagues


sympathise, but can only offer the words “that’s just men for you isn’t it”.'


At this stage, our male colleagues in the


office can’t take any more. In unison they guffaw and tell their female colleagues to “give it a rest” or comment “eh up, they’re off again”.


• - The women laugh at their response and then nothing more is said. - Tliese conversations have been replayed


in all the offices that I’ve ever worked in. As a single twenty something, such con­ versations were of no interest, but as a member of the married-with-child club I eagerly participate. And where would we be without such


light-hearted teasing of the opposite sex? Many of the nation’s much-loved comedi­ ans base much of their material on it. On the flip side, my husband readily


complains to anyone who will listen about how long it takes me to get ready for

the assertion that “Men are from Mars and women are from Venus”, and maybe that’s just the way we like it.


AFTER learning about rationing in World War Two, junior pupils at Waddington and West Bradford Primary School wrote to local garden cen­ tres asking for donations of seeds and buckets, de­ termined to harvest their own fruit and vegetables after growing them over their Summer break. On their return to


school, the children were' overwhelmed by how well the produce had grown and had the opportunity to share their school cul­ tivated selection. The school cooks used some of the vegetables to make ratatouillc and coleslaw dishes and the rest will be sold at the schools upcom­ ing farmers market. The school was award­


ed the “Green Flag Eco School” status in March and is working hard with pupils to raise their aware­ ness of sustainability and healthy living.


im i m HOMEGROWN: Pupils with their vegetables, (s) Claim free green gadgets


LANCASHIRE residents can save up to £100 on their energy bills by claiming en­ ergy saving products in the LIME Green Gadget Giveaway. Lancashire County Council and LIME


have teamed up to offer residents the chance to reduce their energy and save money with a free energy-saving plug and “ water widget”.


, , The LIME Energy Saving Plug, worth


£19.99, provides total shutdown in one easy click through a remote control. Ac­ cording to the Energy Saving Trust, households in the UK now spend around


10% of their electricity bill on standby power, with the average household having up to 12 gadgets left on standby at any one time. The energy saving plug could save households up to £20 a year. The “water widget” takes less than five


minutes to fit and cuts the amount of wa­ ter used through a shower attachment by up to 70% while still maintaining the performance of the shower. For a typical three-bedroom house this could mean an annual £80 saving. The water widget is not suitable for low flow showers and not rec­ ommended for electric showers.


County Councillor Michael Green,


Cabinet Member for environment and planning, said: “These energy saving prod­ ucts are being provided free of charge. ‘‘They are a great effortless way to re­


duce your energy usage and save money on utility bills.”

, impact on those around you. The Chilean President has said that: “Wwhat started as a tragedy should end as a great bless­ ing, because this epic of the miners has illuminated the soul of our country and strengthened the Chilean’s spirit.” You will have seen many pictures of the


..Chilean flag, a real symbol of hope for a . nation. Civile is a country very dear to my heart, having lived there.'I know that for my friends who have suffered a great deal this year with the major earthquake, this story will help them hold onto the hope of


reconstruction and coming through adver­ sity. Many of the miners and their families


are people of faith. I am sure that they would agree with the line of the hymn: “All my. hope on God is founded.”


. ; Ifyou areliaving a hard time at the mo­ ment I pray that like the miners and their families you will hang onto faith and Iiope. Romans 12:12- “Rejoice in hope, be pa­ tient in suffering, persevere in prayer.”
