Last Tuesday was the turn of the Liberal Party. Unfortunately I wasn't there and the Westmorland Gazette tells us nothing
Tonight March 30th, it's the turn of Labour's John Woodcock between 7pm and 8:30 (at the Kings Arms.
He's the one on the right with a cheesy grin and his majesty . What do you make of the load of bruisers with him, no doubt party notables.Doesn't look a very imaginative guy, what with that red tie. Can't he be a bit more outrageous?
Should be fun.
Will there be anyone there other than labour supporters?
We'll see.
Now to think of some questions!

Geoff commenting on fashion!! ha ha, will remind you of this when i see your old legs in your 70 year old shorts in the summer.
Not sure I go with fashion but rather prefer practicality first, hence the shorts in hot weather.
The last time I remember being fashionable is when I wore some designer trousers to school. Light blue with its prominent designer label. The kids took note and my street cred went up.
A change from my coloured jeans bought for well below a tenner on Ulverston Market where I bought all my clothes for school in London. - Complete outfit for under one hundred pounds for a year's clothes!
Still wearing much of this especially the denim jacket that's still got many years' wear left!
But then I still wear the mac/coat I bought in Birmingham in the late 50s whilst still at University.
take no notice Geoff . what passes for mens fashion in this town is jeans and t-shirt and can be worn by all ages. Some of the blokes in this town obviously don't possess a jacket of any kind and probably wouldn't know how to put it on if they had one.
My initial reaction is . . . .
the guy is clueless.
Presumably a view held by the local Labour Party as they ignored the meeting.
Designer trousers to school? Not a Utility label then? One hundred pounds in the fifties was a LOT of money. Our first house in Loughborough (3 bed, two rec.) in the mid 1950's cost £2,000 and the mortgage we were allowed was based on two and a half to three years of pay. And only one salary allowed into the calculation when granting mortgages in those days. A pity two incomes were eventually taken into account. All it did was raise the cost of houses until no one was better off - except building speculators. And we all know what happens when they take over the money market.
Why are those men wearing such long ties? Or is it fashionable to be able to wave them around like a red flag?
You would make a good match to my hubby when he's working around the house, in the garden and in his workshop. At one time he had a bulldog clip holding his old coat together. Why not? It is practical and right for a practical man.
Some folk choose differently. An old friend also practical around the house and garden (he even enlarged his house with his own plans and own hands). But merely cutting his grass or doing anything whatsoever requires him to dress as for work. And his paid work was managerial. Therefore decent clothes and a tie are worn on all occasions. His choice for his own comfort.
Let us be thankful we are allowed to dress as we please - not to please others.
I certainly would never be a slave to fashion.
(Even if I was once a designer.)
I'm talking one hundred pounds in the nineties when in was teaching. £40 for a denim jacket and the rest on shirts and jeans.
I think I paid £80 for my one and only pair Designer Jeans. Not my way of living!
Aren't we off topic?
