"The Grange, Upper Puckering’s premiere historic home." Despite the recent improvements in the Gazette's standard of reporting, I think that the recent story on the sale of the Grange was pretty far off the map. Stoney Grove is Puckering's premiere historic home, main tourist attraction and a world renowned site. The Grange is a nice enough little place, but it's best to remember that  just because you're famous doesn't make your site the best!

Drunken Vicar a Disgrace

I had the misfortune to be out in the village Saturday night and was shocked to see clergymen, including, I must add, the Reverend Banks, in a condition that suggested they were under the influence of alcohol. Whilst we must applaud the efforts the Reverend was making to support a representative of the Roman Catholic Church--who could hardly stand-- I thought it was a poor show for the Church of England.

It must also be said that his Sunday sermon was rather dull.

Vote for My Son!

With the elections for Village Elder just a few short weeks away, it behooves all of us to consider each of the candidates seriously.  Do we want a left-leaning, bunny hugging woman in charge?  Can we seriously respect the opinion of a confirmed communist, whose biggest contribution to the village is likely to be more loos?  And what of a grown man who runs around naked half the time, especially in England?  I say, with serious consideration, there is only one eligible candidate, one voice that makes sense for Puckering.  On election day, vote for Col. Nigel Bratherton.  You'll be making a stand for England's best.
