As I was posting a list of council tax charges for 2012/13 onto the Brigg People website earlier, it struck me that I am now paying considerably more in council tax than I earned (gross) in an entire year when I started paid employment in 1974.
All in all, North Lincolnshire Council, which takes most of what we pay as householders, gives pretty decent value for money as far as I'm concerned, with highways, street lighting, refuse collection and street cleaning, schools, etc.
On the latter topic, I noticed Lol - Brigg's long-serving, brush-and-shovel neighbourhood services man - over the border in Scawby Brook the other day. Seemed like he'd been visiting Ancholme Leisure Centre.
How many miles does he cover in an average week?
Ken Harrison took this pic of Lol on the River Ancholme towpath some time ago.
