Let alone divining the difference between Miles Bar, Milo's Bar, Miles and Barr and a Mars Bar.
So I'm going to be taking a few days respite at the Skegness Home For Bewildered Thespians. Hopefully, once the tablets kick in, I'll be right as rain and back firing on all one cylinder. A bientot!

Have a good break you have done your bit.
Will Sister Assumpta be joining you ?
I'm intrigued as to where ECR goes when he disappears. It must be somewhere where he can't access his blog as it would be the work of a moment to post a quick article using one of those modern portable devices which the kids (and Thanet councillors) use. My suggestion is that ECR has to be periodically admitted to rehab. It's obviously not a good idea to post when detoxed as it would just come out as a boring rant.

The High Court on Thursday 27 February ruled that Thanet District Council did not have the power to impose a temporary ban preventing live animal exports from the Port of Ramsgate and so the council will be liable to pay compensation to the exporters to cover the loss of income incurred as a result of the ban. When will we see an end to the Council's involvement in a business it does not have any clue how to run? How many more millions of local residents' money will be lost in this venture?
Anon 10.47, presumably TDC took legal advice in which case they need to look closely at whether they have a case to get recompense from their legal advisor.
At what point can we (the taxpayers) seek financial recompense from lazy, incompetent councillors?
Interesting point 10.24am, but it may be the case that they had legal advice but chose to ignore it due to gravity of what had gone on at the port and the pressure of public opinion on councillors. Furthermore a request to see the legal advice under FOI Act will most likely be refused under Section 42. Even if the advice was to place a temporary ban on the activity it seems highly unlikely to me that their lawyers will have left themselves exposed to a claim, but we shall see.
Of course the Council may have not taken any legal advice on the live export ban.
