And for everyone who ever wanted to know everything

After visiting the library today ( and a very long rant about the new automated system for booking books in and out of the library, (Apparently it's like one of those self service supermarket tills) Grumpy showed me the latest full colour leaflet of information from our local council.

As well as being available in English ( and full colour) it's also available in at least five other different languages as well as large print and brail. And what sort of information warrents such ha large and exspensive outlay? Why a list plus maps of all of the winter salting routes in Leicestershire.

Yes you've read that right the council has printed a leaflet showing which roads will be gritted and salted in winter and the priority for each one because obivously someone somewhere felt that there was a pressing demand from people to know exactly which roads in Leicestershire are salted and when.

Asides from crazy council spending of our money I've lost another friend on facebook :-( I do wish there was someway to see who has removed you as once you reach over a certain number of friends it gets hard to remember everyone whose on your list and I've only got 144 people how some of these people with 800+ people cope I'll never know.

Anyway,

Later folks.

i shouldnt worry about losing friends on facebook every now and then, because sometimes its not that someone has "un friended" you, it could just be that they have decided to delete their facebook account. Or switch all their settings to private!

oh well, maybe there is a facebook page for when the council grits the road in 5 languages??? Would you add that as a friend???

LOL
