What is the definition of an icon? Today we lost something, something that I never valued, and would have always thought it would be better without it, but I am not sure.
The news described it as an iconic view, lets be honest, it was a dump, it was part of the low cost tat that mares my home town. If I was confident that something better, phoenix like would rise, but I expect it will become another plot on the coast, like Burbeck and the Tropicana.
I want my home town to be more than a poor mans Blackpool, a Monaco for the West Country. It would be good to expect that this is a trigger for something better, but……..
So what do you do when your roots have dissolved and broken down, in some broken town, when you list all the buildings that you despise, and you realise, its gone.
I done no why I am sad, maybe its just because it was always there, I have only ever been on it once, and would never have gone on it again, but…………….
The town is not the pier, but I don’t know what it is.

So this is a challenge to the idiots that run my home town. Get off your backsides and for once do something, use this as an opportunity to do something better. The council is run by a group of talentless, lazy, morons, both chief officers and counsellors alike. So for once in your lives earn your 6 figure salaries, go out get funding, and make the place something better, something to be proud of. And if you cant, get out of town!
