Ten days ago on Thursday Market day a new initiative was launched along with information South Lakeland District Council van, tables issuing badges and a quick rat-a-tat of strong music from Blast Furness. As far as I can tell, this has not been reported in the press despite a press photographer taking a lot of happy faces. So here goes the news is too good to miss:
The following people, all 18 members of our Town Council, have volunteered to pick up rubbish in our town. You can imagine with this number of people picking up paper the town will be spotless.
Please, when you see them in action, give them a big "Thank you" for their public service.

Geoff, good news indeed. Note, one has escaped.
Besides you forgot to mention that this crowd can be recognised by their need to have yellow jackets, litter pickers, black sacks and press photographers at hand to do this demanding task.
MP Tim Farron, superb politician that he is, will no doubt have given them some lessons.

Nice to have a little help from a fellow ZORO.
Is this council team working shifts to maintain this high standard for our town?
As litter is not dropped at one time a shift rota perhaps?
Very good of the team to set an example and I am sure they will maintain a high profile.
Time will tell.
Hot Or cold ?

Sould an award be given to locals/tourists who spot them like the famous LOBBY LUD what a great idea for tourism?
ZORO
Lobby Lud was a idea for newspaper sales.
Anybody go to Blackpool in the 1980s remember Chalky White and claiming £5
How much for Ralph Spours spotting, a bowl of curry?
Rodger has gone fat and bloated.
"Oh" poor town
Hi, Good to see the ZOROs are multiplying. Great idea for a Picking-up-Paper Festival featuring fellow ZOROs who demonstrate their skill in spearing ten pieces of rubbish and flicking all ten into a black sack in one superb movement of the arm . An award of a "Keep Ulverston Tidy" shield - designed and made from beer cans - to the most competent Councillor
by Year 10 Design Technology students at Vic High. Suitable garb also designed by Textiles students from discarded Curry and Fish'unChip trays and other prime rubbish.
This Festival could start at 5 pm on the final day of the Dickensian Weekend. Everyone is dressed up after all, so some way out 21st economy dress could provide an impressive contrast - The Old and The New.
Wot an absolute load of bollocks. This useless rabble do f**k all else, probably sat and thought "lets actually go out and show that we are not totally useless". Just a PR exercise. Even though "our" market is pretty useless it generates a lot of rubbish so they'll never clean it up. How about doing it on a Sunday when the streets of "our" traditional olde market towne are strewn with spew, piss, vomit, blood, bottles and I've even seen used bog roll on Market Street on Sunday mornings. But O no, not so many people about on a Sunday, therefore no audience. Local elections soon, I advise all of us to stay at home, don't vote, sendv the useless, egotistical nonentities a message that no bugger cares about them. What could possibly go wrong?
Do you have any more pictures of His Normaness.
I can still remember the first time I saw him walking down Decatur St he looked so regal,We shared coffee at that cafe then he was gone forever.
Blanche, you'll find plenty of pictures by using a search in images. Your subject isn't shy of having his photo taken and published.
Be still my heart,Yes I have found other photos of His Normanness and my heart is all a flutter.
However I want a photo of him where he is dressed up as a Napoleonic Field Marshall.
