Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
In an astounding and ambitious new project, Cheshire officials have announced that Wilmslow will be linked to the rest of the civilized world via a series of canals.
"We’ve tried creating a road network” said local representative Quentin Hercules-Mongoose, “but frankly, it’s all a bit too wet. I know some people will criticize us for not being able to do what the Romans could do 2000 years ago, with no power tools, heavy machinery, hard hats or hi-viz vests, but to these people I say, think of the ducks.
For those worried about commuting there’ll be a regular Gondola service to Alderley Edge and we’re stockpiling Cornetto’s.
However as a council that takes the climate emergency seriously and in-line with our stringent environmental policies, we’re encouraging people to swim, snorkel or paddle to work wherever possible and reduce their carbon flipper print”.
Perhaps Mel Sykes could re-enact her famous Boddingtons Gondola Ad to promote business...
If it wasn't so sad and repetitive... it really would be funny.. !! .. Well done for bringing a bit of humour to a blatantly ignored repeat situation...
Melanie Sykes was the third lady to appear in the series.
Not many people know that. ;-)
