I’ve just spent a few moments flicking through this months edition of the gazette – it’s the AGM edition so packed full of loads of facts about the area and the good deeds done by the jolly folk of Petts Wood, - this edition is no different form the 11 that fall through the letterbox each month apart from the fact that tucked away on page 22 is the annual accounts looking for the world like a 9 year old has totted up the expenses, but very nicely done and good to see we're in profit.
There are the usual assorted objections to planning permission, the funniest of which is the objection to Fab Kabab's appeal to operate a hot food take away – that’s just what’s missing from Petts Wood, another a hot food take away.
Two whole pages are given over to Squirrels, several questions are posed from "Why are there so many Grey Squirrels" to "How can I encourage them in my garden" , not our garden as we already have them, "Do they cause problems" , "What can I feed them on" and "How can I get rid of them", each answer is priceless – Old Ed Grundy could learn a thing or two from the folks who live in Petts Wood - Borchester Echo eat your heart out..

Sir,
Thank you (I think!) for the comments on the Gazette. I'm sure that our Treasurer will be pleased to learn that he has all the accounting skills of a 9-year-old!
I'm off to offer my services to the Borchester Echo now.
Regards, Ed (aka Ken)
Ed,
Don't move to the Borchester Echo! Come to Abu Dhabi we are in desperate need of a Gazette here - there is so much development that needs to be appealed against! Especially the 30 story tower being built 3m from my living room window.
In my 28 years in Petts Wood, I would like to say that Diane of Willett Way is your best distributer. She should me made distributer of the month.
Little Fella,
Abu Dhabi - I've heard of that. Isn't over Peckham way? I might pop over on Sunday and take a look at the plans - if my SatNav hasn't been nicked in the meantime.
However, we're not much good at 30 story tower blocks - limited experience of that particular issue in Petts Wood, you understand. Now if it was a kebab shop causing you distress, we are definitely the kiddies to get one of those closed down. Do you have problems with your sewers? We're shit hot at getting those sorted out too!
So, your vote for 'distributor of the month' goes to Diane. However, I'm not sure that your vote counts as it's only pucker members who can vote. If you could supply your membership number, I'll make sure that your vote is properly registered.
Is Diane standing against Ken for mayor? If so, she can have my vote too.
Toodle pip.
