Poor old Beeky, bad mouthing the mayoral balloon tickets. Should be a bit more sensitive. His former honourship has investigated the complaint as alleged, and provided reassurances that all will be well. Beeky for his part, currently on the 3rd glass of Fleurie, regrets any implied slur on the Dyke administration, in this particular regard. Hopefully all will be well this summer, though we won't get far if the balloon follows the trajectory of the Jessops share price ! Staffy at Stourport
