EVESHAM Mayor councillor Andrew Dyke nonchalantly flourishing a goblet of bubbly toasts Adam and Eve's and innocently proclaims that he cannot think of anyone being upset.
But to councillor Tom Wareing Adam and Eve's is yet another gobbet for his spit-grilled kebab, a shrike's larder of impaled crackpot clerics, political pigmies, noddy parents, noddy youth leaders and noddy teachers.
Councillor Wareing, nudging 78 and nostalgically ruminating on his vale of years, echoes Enoch Powell in looking ahead only to be filled with foreboding, worrying that his children in the stream of life will be polluted by foaming overspill from our cesspool community's moral, social and economic decadence.
But the Journal's 'A Time for Living' lead featuring children, teachers, parents, clerics and good common-sense citizens, confounds -councillor Wareing's jeremiads. Surely these citizens' deeds blush councillor Wareing's cheek!
After these heart-warming revelations Tom can take heart and progress into the future not with foreboding but with a wiser and more loving forebear's forbearance of people's peccadilloes.
ROBERT THOULD, Hawthorn Road, Evesham.
