We're doomed... Liverpool Council is in danger of being run by Dad's Army

Council meetings at Liverpool Council could often be compared with a comedy sketch.

It would be unfair to compare the current top management to the bumbling brigade of men in the TV comedy Dad's Army.

But council leader Warren Bradley told the assembled troops at the full council that he was worried that the local authority could end up being run by Dad's Army.

I thought I heard someone whisper "we're doomed".

Although I couldn't be sure whether that was reference to the prospect of Labour taking control, or the Lib Dems hanging on to power after May.

But Don't Panic Cllr Bradley has asked Cpt Mainwaring, sorry chief executive Colin Hilton, to do some research on the age profile of the council's workforce to make sure it doesn't end up being run by Dad's Army

I understand Flo Clucas has promised to recruit some apprentices so this should swell the ranks. Last time an exercise on staff was conducted they had to work out just how many staff where employed because they didn't know!

Most Council staff surveys are anonymous so I expect staff will say they are young but feel alot older. If early retirement was offered they'd have to put up crowd control barriers outside the Town Hall!

Start a recruitment drive on Old Hall Street, plenty of keen young things soon looking for a career in the trenches. They don't like it up 'em !

私は、以前キャディーバッグの貧弱なカバーが気に入らず、オーダーメイドで造ってもらったのを契機に、ショルダーベルトまで追加で頼んだことがあります。

ではアメリカにいって、トリーバーチを扱うデパートや直営店から購入したとして、どれくらいになるのでしょうか。

毎日の鍛錬を積んで身につけた特別な感性に加え、集中力を研ぎ澄まさなければ、微妙な欠陥に気づく事はできません。まさに職人の技。
