Yesterday my friend Cllr Andrew McConnell persuaded me to join Twitter. Within a very short time I had 30 followers including Barack Obama, No. 10 Downing Street, the BBC and Sarah Brown, wife of the Prime Minister. I am a reluctant recruit because I have very little free time and do not intend to 'tweet' boring trivial details of my daily domestic routine to the world every five minutes.
However Andrew says that I must use 21st Century technology to communicate with my electorate - so here I am!!
