WATCH out Deputy Gaveller, now that you along with MP Mark Harper have seen fit to disregard the rules, ancient traditions, and heritage of our Forest of Dean in allowing a woman to be a free miner under the guise of sex discrimination and equality.
You may be next in Mr Harper's sights along with the verderers.
Our Forest traditions are being blown out of the water.
I would hope Mr Harper strives with such fervour to attain a maternity unit with the Hundred of St Briavels to protect the Foresters' ancient traditions, rights and heritage for the future. – A very proud Forester Curly Winman.
