Stifling a yawn, I'd like to tell you why my home town should get the " Golden Cobweb " award. This town moves with the speed of an arthritic grandfather clock and would hardly notice a register of ten on the Richter scale. Most of the comatose inmates, sorry. inhabitants, vote Conservative and think that Ronald Reagan is a trendy liberal. As for night-life, there's " El Morocco" at the Town Hall, where armed only with 50p and a death certificate, you can strut your funky stuff to the latest Bach Fugue. Other evening excitements include waiting for the street lamps to come on and watching snails being booked for speeding.' The town in question is Christchurch in Dorset.
The Mailbag phone-line [number removed]is open every Wednesday from 7.0 to
