17 large brown envelopes in ODPM out tray

[On the Left Wing]

At last we may have something really happening.

And this isn't a rumour.

There are 17 large brown envelopes sitting in the ODPM out-tray addressed to various people with a direct interest in Falmer including Martin Perry, Dick Knight, Brighton and Hove Council, Norman Baker MP, Desmond Turner MP, David Lepper MP and a couple of businesses that sound like legal companies plus nine others.

The envelopes were placed there on Friday afternoon and waiting to go out by First Class Recorded delivery.

Lammy, the only thing Im finding total bollocks is you negativity on every bloody falmer thread. It is obviosly imminent, wether that be today or tomorrow.

Not a bad idea that.

Could send Raven along though.....

Very good former journalist colleague (known him for 14 years) who is now a senior Government press officer ... I can't reveal which ministry ... more than his job and civil service pension is worth.
He has been keeping tabs on Falmer for us for the past seven months or so.
He rang me 40 mins ago .. first opportunity to post.
It ties in with what the Argus has been told.
Apparently the senior civil servant in OPDM post room was on a half day on Friday, otherwise they would have gone out them.
NO IDEA of contents however!

Well the only other thing he will be doing is checking the train times to Stevenage.

My comment was tongue in cheek

 

[Albion Dan]

That means that they wont arrive till tomorrow. So no chance of a decision today then folks.

Some of us who have been involved in the "reference back" exercise have received nothing in the post ... yet.

But some of us live in rural isolation where even first class post takes days to reach us.

Why doesn't one of our London based people go in there and offer to deliver them Free of Charge? Then we'd know they haven't been chewed up by the Crawley sorting office machinery. Meanwhile, the rest of us can have kettles boiling at the ready to steam open an envelope or two...
