The scheduled Planning and Scheming Committee meeting, which should have taken place at Smalltown and Dullbridge Town Council office in the Hayloft Road Retirement Home for Bemused and Bewildered BeFuddled Party Ex-Teachers (and Others) was cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of stationery.
Chairman Simple Simon Hayrick said “We had no option but to cancel the meeting when we discovered that everyone had left their pencil cases at home and we were, therefore, unable to keep a record of what would be discussed.
It was rather unfortunate, because BeFuddled Party Councillors had all purchased souvenir ‘A Present from Dullbridge’ pencils during their recent field trip to the town prior to the consultation period for the Re-Imagine Dullbridge (RID) scheme and I know we were all looking forward to using them.”
Squire Teflon commented “It’s hilarious, isn’t it? This lot couldn’t organise a party in an Albanian Whisky Distillery. Cancelling a meeting because there was ‘no one to take the minutes’! You’d think one of them could handle a notepad.
A decent man would have helped out by offering to lend them one of his huge selection of pens, which he keeps in his shirt pocket. But I’m not a decent man.”
