WARSHIP RIDDLE OFF MAIDENCOMBE

BREXIT REACTION IN THE COMBE
The historic exit from the European Union on Friday was, unsurprisingly, not without a certain amount of emotion in the combe and environs - almost exclusively from the disgruntled 'remain' camp. A straw poll, taken before and after the vote, indicated the same 50-50 division as that of the national opinion polls.
However, I can happily report that all the Maidencombers I have encountered and spoken to so far, have conducted themselves with quiet decorum. On a less positive note, the local (St Marychurch and Maidencombe) reaction on that 'social' networking website has been of the usual haranguing style - all from the remain camp who it seems, had difficulty acknowledging the democratic process.

THE BURNING OF THE BAMBOO MAN - AN AWFUL SIGHT TO SEE
The Burning of the Bamboo Man
An awful sight to see
They Burnt his face, his soul within
I shed a tear for him.
