ACCIDENTAL FORWARD SETS COUNCIL BACK
Members of Froghill Town Council have been caught red-faced and red-handed after a junior staff member accidentally forwarded an internal email to everyone on the Council’s mailing list.
The staff member in question was a part-time secretary who has since left the Council’s employ, the Observer can reveal.
The mail concerns a Council fact-finding trip to our twin town of Horsbaden, made in March of this year. It describes how the party of four councillors made an unscheduled two-day stop in Amsterdam on their return journey. It then goes on to itemise the expenses incurred.
The list includes 5-star hotel accommodation and restaurants, as well as the sum of £965.81 spent at the ‘Smoky Bear A Go Go Striptease Bar and Animal Sanctuary’ in the city’s infamous Walletjes district.
When asked by the Observer if he or his colleagues had ever misused ratepayer’s money, Councillor Dennis Meddings insisted that the bar visit was “purely for research purposes” and that “although he never put his hand in his pocket, he never took his trousers down either.”
The Councillor was then heard to mutter an abusive two-word phrase before turning on his heel and walking away.
