I MUST congratulate the writer of the excellent article in Friday’s ‘Southern Daily Echo’ of April first that speculated upon how the New Forest might be run by an elected Mayor and ‘Forest Ruler’, with extra-ordinary powers similar to those attributed to a supposedly Baronial imbecilic friend of the Conqueror should the Solent area ever become a “metro authority’.
An article whose creativity is probably only surpassed by the BBC’s similarly paraded spaghetti tree of yester year.
