moggsieParticipant[quote quote=100019]The best route you can take from Plas Coch Retail Park if you wish to travel in the direction of Oswestry is to turn right onto Plas Coch Road. Then you choose the right hand lane signposted for Chester and proceed to the set of traffic lights. At the lights you ignore the vehicles in the centre lane that are signalling a right turn and you continue to make a right turn. When you find that the vehicle in the centre lane forces you to remain in the right hand lane, you blast your horn at them, cut across two lanes, offering them a victory “V” sign and turn left onto the A483 oblivious of the fact that you are in the wrong.
I hope that the people who make this manoeuvre on a regular basis will take note of the fact that they should use the left hand lane to go towards the town centre, the middle lane to go towards B and Q, Oswestry and Mold and the right hand lane “FOR CHESTER ONLY”. If you can’t work it out you shouldn’t be driving at all.

moggsieParticipantCheers Rob
I think Mr Lucas’ lucid enough (but lengthy) explanation might just be too subtle. They’ve been painted as the moderate wing of the Tory party. Tough.
moggsieParticipant[quote quote=93553]The Highways Agency or the councils could not care less about Chester Races or anyone else. I recall a few years ago major road works were carried out in Saltney which lasted about 6 months. They began on the day before a Chester Race meeting started !!

good spot Johnny !!
moggsieParticipantWell said
moggsieParticipant[quote quote=93440]What a complete waste of time and effort. To go through all of that to do something that won’t get reported and something that most people couldn’t care less about. Yes I understand the apathy but surely there are more constructive things you can do. Also what is your alternative, maybe a nice dictatorship?
Also whilst on the old soap box people voting Labour to keep the Tories out even though they don’t like labour, you do know for everyone of you doing that, someone is voting Tory to keep Labour out. Get a grip and vote for a party you actually have a belief in.
Have a look at this and open your eyes, you might just surprise yourself https://voteforpolicies.org.uk/

Not sure whether your remarks were aimed at me, but here goes..
1. How can some be described as apathetic, if they intend to register their dislike of the available parties by creatively spoiling their ballot paper ?
2. I don’t intend to do so. But I understand and sympathise with those that might.
3. The link didn’t open my eyes in the slightest. It accurately predicted my politics.
4. I will not vote with my politics in this case. In the 2010 Election, in my constituency Labour polled 38%. Tories 30%. The 2005 result was 45/25% respectively. I see the gap narrowing further. Not voting Labour makes it all the more likely that the Tories will sneak in by the back door surely ?
5. I get your point re “someone is voting Tory to keep Labour out”, but it makes no odds.It’s called tactical voting, yes ?
I would rather park my principles for a few years, rather than have this shower in again.
moggsieParticipant[quote quote=93364]…… the main parties would be banned from putting up the same candidtates in any subsequent by-election.
[/quote]To suggest that anyone should be excluded from putting themselves forwards as a candidate in an election is not the way forward really is it ?
I know there are groups that are excluded ( Judges, Civil Servant, Prisoners etc ), but I think the costs incurred in becoming a candidate need looking at before anything else.
Having a “NONE OF THE ABOVE” box though ?
Good idea in my view.
It would at least indicate to our “leaders” how many really can’t be bothered to get off their butts.
Makes you ponder why they don’t do this, doesn’t it ???
And if it takes you too long to ponder this, you shouldn’t be able to vote – joke of course :)
moggsieParticipantRob (?) should certainly try to emulate the old forum features on this new WordPressy thingy. Why does web-tech get slower & more user-unfriendly as the years tick by ?
Pretty yes. Functional & speedy, not really.
moggsieParticipantRob..don’t you ever sleep :)
Well, if you can trust Wikipedia, the 2010 Electorate was 53,733. Assuming a 5% increase in the population ( conservative), that shows I’m talking rubbish in being so optimistic. 35% of the Wrexham Constituency cannot be bothered to even spoil their ballot paper to register their distrust of the political class.
moggsieParticipantOur parliamentary candidates are obviously consummate time managers ?
