BRIGG BROTHER

Further to Brigg Blog's earlier tongue-in-cheek postings about the lowly-hung bus timetable on a pole at Cary Lane bus station, we can report progress by the powers-that-be.
The board containing the bus times has now been repositioned - further up the pole. If you are 6ft it still involves crouching, or bending, to read the information at eye level. But it's a lot better than it was.
Regular readers may recall the board had been so near the pavement the only person who could possibly have read it face-on would have been actor Verne - Mini Me in the Austin Powers movie and one of the stars of the recently-concluded reality TV series Big Brother.
And talking of Big Brother, at Monday night's Brigg Town Council meeting, Town Mayor Coun Mike Campion used the word 'nominations' several times.
Now that's the word guaranteed to make all Big Brother followers take note. Coun Mike wasn't seeking a list of folk wanting to leave the council chamber - but every time I hear the word 'nominations' at the moment I hear (in my head) the voice of that Geordie narrator saying it on the programme.
Is it the same for you, Big Brother fans among Brigg Blog followers?
We needn't worry - surely it will wear off in a few days!
