“Don’t know who your sources are but I can assure you that a) I did not censure the Pussy Parlure and b) even if I wanted to ( which I wouldn’t )I do not have those kind of powers. There were certainly conversations about the name but the decision must have been the organisers after conversations with or in deference to the Parish Council – to which I do not belong.”

“I hope you’re ashamed Ian – caving in to a bunch of fairy stories. How objectionable was it when Mrs Slocombe (Mollie Sugden) made continued references to her “pussy” (CAT) duing the long running sitcom, ‘Are You Being Served?’

Christians have to adopt a place in this secular society and every time you cave into their puerile demands, you just dignify their petite little grievances. I hope I don’t hear of another.”

and received the following response within minutes from Mr Taylor:

“There appears to be some text missing. Please can you send me the complete version so I may respond accordingly. My attention is always grabbed when I’m told I should be ashamed of myself.”

Looks like he’s on the ball. 😉

Yes, very good point!

If you want, as I did, to register your objections to the council’s behaviour, you might want to give Ian Taylor an email or a buzz – he is the outdoor events tszar.
email – ian.taylor@brighton-hove.gov.uk
phone – 01273 292711

It might be a good idea to give him a bit of a head ache, so next time when anti-skeptical, superstition and ignorance merchants come knocking in – Ian might think more carefully about who it might be easier to dismiss…

It might also be woth while giving your councillor a call and press on her/him to have a word with Ian Taylor..
