PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
With so many anonymous comments on the blog it appears that many of you are afraid to contact the PLO (Piddlebackside Liberation Organisation) for fear of reprisals from local government, your employers or the Taliban. Should anyone wish to enter into dialogue with the 'people's blogging collective' they can do so by leaving a comment with a name or nickname on the blog - just mark it NOT TO BE PUBLISHED, and it won't be (although it will of course be read). Anyone requiring a direct reply can leave an email address, which, of course, will not be published. We will endeavour to answer any queries as soon as possible, but please bear in mind that broadband connections can be intermittent in a mountain hideout, especially at this time of year.

Doh!
Nobody is afraid to contact you, they are just not reading the blog any more.
Well you're taking time out of the working day to read it and comment, so how many brain cells have you got?
I may be stupid for reading your blog - what does that make you for writing it?
;)
Ha ha! What's that sound I hear? Is it the moral high ground slipping from beneath your feet? Look my friend, you don't share our opinions or sense of humour - that's fine, but 15,800 hits here and 3,000 on the other site say lots of people do - so the playground-name-calling stuff just ain't going to cut it. If it gets under your skin so much try not logging on - wonder what it is that keeps drawing you back to read all this stoopid stuff we keep writing?
What catty comments!
The blog is the best thing to happen in Piddlebackside for years.
It makes uncomfortable reading for some,those who wrote the comments are probably amongst them - the individuals who are ruining our town, rewriting history and being paid for it !
Keep going Candide - you are the Talk of the Town!
I can remember when I was a girl, 'Womens Hour' on the radio did a programme on the sex life of 80 year old men. It caused an outcry. One woman wrote to say that herself, her daughter and family friends has listened to the whole programme and were disgusted. I can't help but compare your critics with that silly woman.
Hetty, married to Enoch.
(Enoch could learn a thing or two from an 80 year old. He 15 years away from that and can't even raise his pen)
Perhaps more people would have the guts to put their name to comments if you took the lead.....no thought not.
Keep up the satire coward.
Anonymous's comments seem to have sparked a heated debate and re-ignited interest in the blog that nobody is reading anymore - perhaps the opposite to what was intended. I have a strong suspicion that 'Anonymous' is the Archbishop of Canterbury (Peace be upon Him)- I think you will find that the Westphalian community is a broad church, Your Holiness, and you are very welcome.
The only one without a sense of humour round here seems to be you.
I make a teeny swipe about your dwindling band of readers and you go off on one.
'twas you that started with the rude comments, sir, not I.
A few hundred followers still enjoy your blog - including me, good on you for working so hard for us.
Before you give up the day job though - grow a thicker skin.
The usual advice to someone who's dug themselves into a hole is stop digging. You're just annoyed that my initial comment illustrated the lack of logic in your argument. Now in your fouth comment you're telling us we've got a few hundred readers, and you're taking time out of your weekend to inform us of the fact. I think the only skin that needs worrying about is yours - we're obviously getting under it in a big way.
Perhaps a JCB would be in order.

Too busy reading beachbumsouthwest.co.uk and the warm welcome from Pangloss to those visitors with manbags full of pink pounds
