I have a deep-seated and often hysterical mistrust of people in public office even though my wife (Mrs Belm) is a magistrate and everything. So I have little sympathisings with Martin Mullaney, Cllr.

But then this is about trams, depots and stuff like that and I loves my outmoded forms of transportation. So should I support Mullanney, Cllr in his endevours for the love and cherishment of trams and historical buildings?

‘Tis a personal dilemma of near epic proportions – or just a "lot o’ fuss ’bout nothin’ in particular", as Grand-ma-ma Belm was fond of saying.

Derek (Mr) Belm.
