That Biggles/Fox email exchange in full …

Just arrived back from a notorious South Bristol boozer where an exchange of a number of used £20 notes for emails has successfully taken place.

The Bristol Blogger is therefore pleased to present that Ashley Fox/”Biggles” Popham email exchange in full.

This includes IT ‘expert’ Biggles mistakenly accusing some long-suffering council officer of saying he was talking bollocks because, apparently, Biggles hasn’t worked out yet who his emails are coming from.

It also rather looks like he hasn’t worked out there’s a ‘reply’ and a ‘reply all’ function on his email

Dear Councillor Popham

Dear Mike

Please could you explain what you are trying to say in the second paragraph of your email. I have read it carefully but have no idea what you mean.

I’m afraid you sound as if you’re talking complete bollocks.

regards
Ashley

Dear all,

Just to say that my Motion entitled Social Entrepreneurship has today been withdrawn.

Discussions with officers has resulted in our intention to proceed sub-council with a “Transforming Democracy” agenda augmenting Social Entrepreneurship through the Customer Excellence Programme.

Currently, Kate Hartas is drafting a press release for circulation to Steve Hilton (eDemocracy), Stuart Long (ICT), Philip Higgins (Corporate Consultation), and Rachel Boast (Democratic Services) for a meeting in 2 weeks’ time and then the Group for wider consultation before release, if/as approved by the Leader.

Janice, grateful if you would coordinate a date for Kate Hartas, Steve Hilton Stuart Long, Philip Higgins, Rachel Boast and I to meet on this within about 2 weeks, ideally if possible a Wed afternoon.

A draft Social Entrepreneurship/Transforming Democracy press release will be available shortly for wider consideration.

With best regards

Cllr Mike Popham
