The Gorse Fox chaired the Parish's Planning Meeting. Usual sort of coverage... and a couple of members of the Parish turning up to make representations.
It always interests the Gorse Fox how different people approach things in different ways. One petitioner was quiet, respectful and armed with facts and scientific references - the other was strident, rude, and offered little but bluster and emotion and a misunderstanding of what was to be discussed (though, to be fair, the Agenda may have been misleading). He finds this latter approach tantamount to (attempted) bullying. It's funny, but the reaction the Gorse Fox has to fight in such situations is the almost irresistible urge to to do the complete opposite of what such a person wants (even if it coincides with what he wants).
Despite this the meeting was over in a couple of hours and was, in general, conducted with good humour.
