Surely Adam Trimingham has only himself to blame for saying of public interest in council meetings that "the prevailing emotion is apathy" (Argus, March 8).
Whenever I have looked in at one of these meetings, it has been the stuff of something which could make for articles much more entertaining than the anodyne accounts he produces.
These meetings bring a soap opera to mind. One can see sport could be had with such running gags as Jean Spray's invisible megaphone, Brian Fitch's extraordinary taste in shirts and the catcalls which greet Geoffrey Theobald's habit of quoting from his earlier speeches.
