Dick Smith Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Amazingly enough, I don't think this is the first such case. Wasn't there a councillor (also a Conservative) living in the West Indies a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 What is it about living in France that attracts Conservative councillors? I remember we had one (well, a former one) who used to use this forum. Miki will remember him, I'm sure.Totally irrelevant fact - a friend of mine also used to be on Hinckley and Bosworth council (Lib). He moved away too, to Gloucestershire, which caused enough fuss though it's a darn sight nearer than France. So I'd better shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
