Dear George,
I was absolutely horrified to hear your shortsighted and very irresponsible hate inspiring and otherwise inappropriate anology of people who are on benefits on the ITV news. When you made the comparison by stating, \"when you go to work in the morning and see the neighbours blinds drawn, why should they live a life on benefits\". It was appalling for you to not first consider the impact or the implications that your statement could and probably will have on the lives of many innocent or vulnerable people in our society.

What an absolutely irresponsible comment to make with such a generalisation of people who are on benefits through no fault of their own, which leads to resentment and hatred possibly even acts of violence or damage to property. How would that make you feel George when a disabled man in a wheelchair gets a brick thrown through his front window, simply because he has become paralysed and wants to but simply physically cannot work anymore or even struggles to get out of his homebound prison environment.??

It is well-known that Knutsford is the finest place for a Gastronomic Affair.
First stop LOCH FYNE It’s a place that has passion. And it makes you feel special. Plus, the food is delicious and practically guilt-free! There’s no need to count calories as every mouthful is full of good oils and brimming with omega 3.  Savouring oysters is like tasting a seaside memory (try the little devils coated in garlic breadcrumbs for a cross-channel moment).The fish soup is legendary. The smoked salmon deserves its awards. The pan-fried bream melts in the mouth and the olive oil mash is creamy and divine. The chips are already the best in town and even the colourful desserts look and taste like superfoods.

Literary pilgrims over many years have come to visit Cranford and the last resting place of the author, Elizabeth Gaskell.
