YOUR LETTERS - 23rd July 2019




Rough Justice
We hear a lot about a lack of justice these days. I say make the punishment fit the crime. If you’ve stolen something, the public should be allowed to take their pick of your belongings; if you don’t pick up your dog’s poo then you should have dog poo pushed through your letterbox. Also, if you’ve lied on Twitter that the nitrogen used in fracking is completely safe because a percentage of our breathable air is nitrogen anyway then you should be forced to breathe only nitrogen and see how long you last. And have dog poo pushed through your letterbox. Oh and before you ask, yes, I am a regular contributor to Thornton Cleveleys Chat on Facebook.

McDonalds Yet Again Once More
Now that the McDonalds in Cleveleys has finally been green-lit, the town can look forward to experiencing the Big Mac, Large Fries, Huge Belly and Massive Neck.

Cross about Norcross
The work being done to Norcross roundabout to improve the traffic flow will cause months of chaos and delays for people who commute out of Thornton, Cleveleys and Fleetwood. Which is basically everybody who doesn’t work at B&Ms, Freeport, or in one of Thornton’s five ironing shops.

It’s a crime
Very disappointed to hear the latest statistics that only 8% of crimes are actually solved. What are the police even doing? This wouldn’t have happened under the watchful eye of Sergeant Frank Wilkins from the 1960 film ‘Carry on Constable’. Frank (played by the late, great Sid James) ran a tight ship, but a little bit of humour helped things along. True, the worst thing they had to deal with was a false murder report and a petty wages theft which they solved by accident, but I’m sure they’d be able to cope with Blackpool’s massive rates of violence and drug crimes just as easily. Also it wouldn’t hurt to have the lovely Barbara Windsor around, although she wasn’t in that film for some reason, it may have been while she was hanging around with the Krays.

NHS crisis
The other day I needed to see my GP. I called them first and was pleased to learn from the reception staff that I did not need to have a prior appointment and that I could just turn up. I went along, parking was easy and once inside there was no delay whatsoever - I was ushered straight inside. I sat down and explained my medical history and problem to the doctor and it was at this point that he told me that this was the Carphone Warehouse. No wonder the NHS is in crisis.

Lord of the Chance

Blackpool's amateur publication The​ Evening Gazette caught our attention today with a lengthy and detailed article about a thuggish attack in Blackpool. But this wasn't just your typical Blackpool brawl - incredibly the victim was a peer of the realm! From The Gazette 'Lord' Perry Harber, who "has a vast portfolio of nightclubs and bars and regularly holidays in Monaco" according to the Gazette article, claims he was hit over the head from behind with a full bottle of vodka by a gang in an alleyway behind Dickson Road, Blackpool on January 1st this year. The Gazette go on to list just some of Lord Perry Harber's amazing credentials and achievements. As Lord of the Manor of Glascombe, Harber "presides over almost 15,000 acres of land". He "has invested in a number of businesses in Lytham" and is a "businessman and charity fundraiser". Not to mention his incredible ability to identify the precise contents and volu

The Doctor Will Review You Now...

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So says an old proverb. Well, local amateur publication The Gazette have certainly been fooled at least twice by charlatans that we at Cleveleys News immediately recognised and exposed. So shame on them. There was Barry Carr from Rossall Gate, Fleetwood, a member of the BNP dubbed “neighbour from hell” after he repeatedly harangued, harassed and fat-shamed the lady next-door. It made national news when Carr was given a ten week jail term suspended for a year and ordered to pay his victims £200 each in compensation. Gazette were also all over the story, but what they didn’t mention in their coverage was that they had been publishing Carr’s intolerant rants on their letters page for years. Former BNP candidate and @The_Gazette letters page mainstay Barry Carr has appeal bid rejected and his sentence increased. More pages for them to fill... pic.twitter.com/3aPtV9Ge6y — Cleveleys News (@cleveleysnews) February 6, 2018

Cleveleys isn't just a retirement town full of old codgers. Occasionally their younger relatives come to visit too. But there is much, much more to the town, so here are 15 things that you won't know about Cleveleys (unless you follow Cleveleys News).... 1. There's always a bargain to be had Cleveleys has more bargain shops than you can poke a walking stick at. It is home to the original B&M Bargains, as well as Home Bargains, Poundland, and a whole raft of similarly named independent shops. If you are looking for somewhere you can buy a loofah, some Wrights coal-tar soap, a pack of Cup-a-Soups with Arabic labelling and a blind bag of Moshi Monsters all under one roof, you've come to the right place. 2. It is the home of Mobility Scooter Jousting The annual sporting event which takes places in Morrisons car park has made celebrities out of local residents such as Colin 'Paladin' Brown and Ethel 'Ivanhoe' Jones.
