SMALL POOL

It seems that we are all as thick as sh** in Carmarthenshire despite the county being home to some of the world's leading lights in many fields. NO! According to a number of councillors speaking today there is only a small pool of people to choose from to earn £200,000 a year plus whatever other cash one can get on the side. The claim was muttered and repeatedly muttered today in a full council meeting and appeared to be the justification for giving as much cash as was legally or in some instances otherwise available to give to anyone who has a posh accent a top job. Meanwhile the peasants of Pontyberem and surrounding villages myself included are shown fetching water for cawl at the local rugby pitch. It was like a scene from Oliver Twist. So it seems that many of the well spoken, articulate, intelligent residents of Pontyberem, Pontyates, Ponthenri and a host of other Camarthenshire villages cannot produce one person to challenge for the job of Chief Executive or any other senior officer's post for that matter. I know my place and so should you. How dare we claim we are intelligent and ask for our wages not to be cut and our playing fields to be saved so that our children can escape shingles. NO! For goodness sake KNOW YOUR PLACE! That is in the WORKHOUSE. Remember to doff your cap next you see the masters.
