Here’s your chance.
All this week, right up to Saturday, the book about electing a Mayor in Salford is FREE to download from Amazon.
You don’t need a Kindle! If you look on the page, you’ll see links on the right to the FREE apps that will allow you to download Kindle ebooks to any old laptop, desktop, PC or Mac. That’s Mac, or PC. Anything.
This is Woden’s Cave in Ordsall, Salford. It’s where hermits lived in the Middle Ages. Now that I am approaching middle age, I shall be retiring here tomorrow, after I have spoken to Alan Beswick on his Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Manchester at 8.45am and explained to him that my novel about electing a Mayor in Salford is finally finished and up on my website, http://www.Salford.me/
Brilliant, it’s April 1st and here’s the news from the local betting shops. Wait. Hang on. Wrong date – it’s May 1st! But that means – Oh no, it’s no joke! Someone, please, wake me from this awful dream. This can’t be happening. Oh, no.
April Fool’s Day: betting odds
Now, this is really interesting. I mean, really. After all, I was there. Yes, that was me, cheering in the background, clapping, and occasionally groaning. Hope you like the tones.
Here we are, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly.
Of course, which is which, well, that’s your decision. They’re all trying to get your vote, but, when you’ve got the pencil in your hand, only you can decided.
Good Luck with that.
It looks a reet lively night. Sorry I missed it. Seven candidates, (count them, 7 ) debate the future of Salford and what they could do to make it better.
Salford Mayoral candidates debate
Just when you thought it couldn’t get more laughable, the local newspaper has decided it would be a good idea to get all the candidates for Mayor in Salford together and let them have a debate, in public, where we could all ask them questions. Simples. Well, it turns out that only 7 out of 10 are going to be there! Keep it coming, guys. This started out as a farce, but now it’s turning into a real comedy.
Now it really is getting confusing! There’s LOADS of people want to be Mayor of Salford. (Blimey, they must think there’s money in it! They couldn’t be more wrong.) So, you – yes, you, with the haircut – want the job? Just join the list!
Just in case you weren’t sure – and who can be really sure of anything, in Salford, certainly – this is an article that explains where the idea of electing Mayors in Britain came from, and how the first ten years of it went. (It went.) Meanwhile, Salford is still on track to have the Mayoral election on Thursday, 3rd May, and my book about it happening is still here.
