Quote of the day 18th August 2023
"Confidence has a lot to do with interviewing - that, and timing. There's no way you can create a chemistry where none exists. It's not so much about what you ask as what you don't ask."
(Sir Michael Parkinson CBE)
Alderman John Jackson RIP
I was very sorry to learn that Alderman John Jackson, a former councillor and Mayor of Copeland has died. (To avoid any confusion, I should probably explain that he was Mayor when this was the title of the councillor who was in the council chair that year, and who acted as the ceremonial mayor and first citizen. It was an entirely different post from the subsequent office of directly elected Mayor, who was essentially an elected leader.) John was a straightforward, no-nonsense honest and kind individual who worked hard for his constituents as a councillor and for his community in everything he did. He will be missed. Rest in Peace.
