Northern Aspect

To Worsley, Greater Manchester, where I spoke to the Salford Conservative Association (leading light, my fellow blogger, Iain Lindley).

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the supper at the Bridgewater Arms.

A few of those present told me that they had relatives living in Colwyn Bay or Rhos on Sea. The traditional links between Manchester and this area are still very strong. We mustn’t forget that Colwyn Bay was built on Manchester cotton money and I am very pleased that the close family connections continue to this day.

Not only a dedicated MP for his constituency, but a dedicated member of the Party.
I have to confess, I really could not be bothered travelling for such a function, after a full working week.
I do hope your party hierarchy notice such efforts!

Actually, I enjoy doing "out of area" functions. You get a different perspective that way. And we had a really good reception at Salford - not to mention a super meal!

Once again David, many thanks to yourself and Sara for taking the time to come over and speak to us. I thought it was a very enjoyable evening and I'm glad you thought it went well.

Yet agian it shows there is no such thing as a free supper.
Sing for your supper so to speak!

Most of the "money" people have long gone, more is the pity.
I remember well some of the very nice shops of the Colwyn Bay of old.
Beyond repair I am afraid.
Apathy won the day, yet again!

You should have watched Wales this week tonight.
It was all about the bent buggers on Anglesey council.
