Stop whinging and get on with it!
A PROMINENT local businessman commented this week that we’re more and more becoming a town (maybe a nation) of whingers. “People seem to be complaining about anything these days, no matter how trivial,” he said. “And the older they are the more they want to whinge.” And they demand to take their complaints to the top. “When they come to our business they’re not satisfied in dealing with capable staff members. They demand to speak to the boss,” he said. And he’s right. We’re a lot of misery guts. Just take note of the number of rude people who don’t even respond these days when you say hello in the street. Lighten up folks; chronic whinging is not a good look.

All that glisters
WITH coal under attack around the world Lithgow businessman Noel Ramsden said it may perhaps be time to remind critics of the words of Henry Kissinger who famously said: ‘Diamonds are just coal that have done very well under extreme pressure.’ Perhaps we could also paraphrase an old saying ‘Now and then the story’s told, all that glisters may be coal’. Point taken.
Charmless
MOST of the more unpleasant sights in the CBD of Lithgow (and probably anywhere else) are from drunks and litterers. Again this week the street was polluted by some grot who vomited down the front of the hoarding and onto the footpath on the former Commonwealth Bank Westfund redevelopment site. Some people do have classy habits.
