SO London is having a referendum on whether its people want a Mayor. Little old Blackburn couldn't have one on unitary status.
The only people to get a vote were Big Brother Coun Malcolm Doherty and his orchestra.
Talking of orchestras, I don't think axed council chief executive Gerald Davies need worry about a job, he knows Doherty and his orchestra score so well that they must surely find him a place.
But, may I add, it won't be in the violin section - that is already full, with a queue wanting to get in stretching past the Darwen boundary, or has the Blackburn quango got rid of it?
J READ, Blackburn, (full address received).
