Finding himself with too much time on his hands, having lost all his chairs in the May election, Squire Teflon has been very busy joining every Working Group going via Smalltown and Dullbridge Town Council.
“I need to find ways to keep myself busy between my morning and evening paper rounds” the Squire told SomersetClive, “My work ‘entertaining’ my close-friend Mistress Bones only takes up ten minutes of my time and if she thinks I’m at a loose end she sends me into the stock room to count tat. Therefore I’ve decided I need to fill my days pretending to work on other projects.”
Recent months have seen the Squire sign up to a wide and varied programme of Working Groups, including:-
Smalltown Shops Christmas Lights Event, where the Squire will be working closely with his close friend, Mistress Bones of the Smalltown Shops (SS) group to ensure that the SS ‘A Winter War’ gets a bigger share of the funding than the Smalltown Chamber of Trade.
The Task Force for Economic and Tourism Advantage (TaFFETA), trying to think of ways to make Smalltown a more vibrant place for residents and visitors, and forming a Funding Taskforce to Inject Life into the Economy (FuTILE).
Wearing a dress and proudly introducing himself as ‘Mired N Revlon’ the Squire hopes to fulfil a life long ambition and has joined the Pride – a Really Unique Diversity Event (PRUDE) group.
Somerset Day – a special day for residents, where the Squire will be able to remind people that, up until a few months ago, he was a Very Important Person at Somerset Cuonty Council, before seeing his chair swept away by an incoming tide of BeFuddled Party Councillors elected to the All-New-Yet-Unimproved Somerset Cuonty Council.
The working group for Office Relocation – Identify Final Ideas to Change Employment Space (ORIFICES), charged with finding a way to get shot of Hayloft Road Palace.
Transition Vision Group – Nope. No idea what this one is about.
The BeFuddled Councillors on Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council gladly accepted Squire Teflon’s proposal that he represent them on all the working groups, admitting that none of them have any idea what it is all about and that they were far too busy worrying about climate change and the cost of living to have time for frivolities anyway.
