Well done!

He did not appear to know about it. Which is a little annoying as I presented to them via my councillor in January 2001

Well, it could be that he might find it equally annoying. "Those idele bastards landed me in it!" I can imagine him saying to himself.

Anyway, it sound as if things might be moving. Did he give any indication of when they'd "come back". I seem to remember you wrote something about a consultation process that they put back to happen in September.

Another possible front occurred to me - the Rotten Borough page in Private Eye. The idea of a council stopping people singing in pubs should be the kind of things they'd enjoy poking fun at.
