Think before you speak

At last night's Hurst Green Society AGM, I had my first opportunity to speak to some of my constituents and I think I just managed to confuse them all.

I made an intervention to clarify the issue regarding West Heath, but rather than clear the air I think I muddied the waters by using too much jargon (and most people not having a clue who I was and why I was there). For the facts see Tuesday's entry.

The lessons I learned were:

1 - introduce myself first
2 - don't use jargon
3 - think about what you are going to say before you speak

Lets hope I do better next time...
