Twin cash plea
6:04am Sunday 10th February 2008
Comments (32)Residents are preparing to welcome visitors from their twin town in France without funding from Bradford Council. Ilkley Parish Council asked for a letter to be sent to Bradford Council asking why the £500 usually given to help Ilkley welcome visitors from Coutances in Normandy has not been forthcoming. A Bradford Council spokesman said: "No decision has been made on the twinning budget yet. We are waiting for a formal application from the twinning committee and this will be considered when we receive it."

Also, that's a good point about the Shisha bar.
They should be the only places in Britain where smoking IS allowed.
Let smokers gather in their millions in licensed Shisha bars.
They must be staffed and cleaned only by mucky smokers.
Smoke anywhere else outside them and face imprisonment. That way, the smokers have their social lives, the businesses don't have to close through lack of custom, and the rest of us know exactly where to avoid.
We could bung the price of fags up to £15 a packet and charge ten grand a year for the club licence.
They'd have to pay it because they're addicts and too weak to give up the weed.

Can anyone explain what makes towns in different countries "twins".
I could never understand this.
Wonder what is Bradford's twin town/City....Baghdad lol.
We also have a friendship agreement with Mirpur District Council.
But how can we be twinned with five different towns? Doesn't that make us sextuplets?
