Weddings and youth group leaders
It is always a very happy part of my role to take wedding services. However, last Friday my son Jamie and his beautiful ancé Fiona (both previous youth group leaders here in Olney), married at St Peter and St Paul church. So many local people helped to make it a great occasion, the butter y bandits who lled the church with colourful crocheted butter ies, the ower arrangers, the bell ringers, the musicians, the sound team, cake makers, emergency shoe and shirt providers, photographers, vergers and the cleaners, to name but a few who were involved.
Then just for good measure the same magni cent group of people did it all over again for Becky another YAGs leader and Stew on Sunday just 48 hours later.
I would like to thank you all for making both days, very special.

NHS in Crisis?
Dear Editor, I am pleased the combined all party efforts of our local politicians have resulted in the re-opening of the Willen GP surgery. However, I think the assertion of Steve Mitchell (page 10, Phonebox Magazine Sept 2016) that there is a crisis in our NHS, entirely the fault of the Conservative Party is incorrect. This is because the reason the country cannot afford to pay its own bills without incurring further debt is at least partly due to the previous Labour Government who left us with a debt we have as yet been unable to nd ways to service. When they left of ce the country was borrowing approximately £1 for every £4 spent. Therefore, I believe it is unfair and unrealistic to expect to be able to compare what the UK spends on its health service with previous UK administrations or other countries because that would need the over borrowing gures to be taken into account. If we can bring our de cit under control, we could then look at increasing spending on our NHS and relief of suffering, or wherever else we choose to place our resources. The scale of the de cit and delivering the solution is probably something of the order of a 50 year project. Is it not time for all political parties to focus on defeating the country’s de cit rather than playing games with it? Yours Faithfully, Paul Manning, Newport Pagnell.

Dear Editor, I just wanted to say thank you for the write up in the August Phonebox for our Valuation Day and Stamp Day held this weekend.
It certainly resulted in several appointments, for our very busy day. It all ran very smoothly, and I even kept up with the washing-up this time, thanks to my helper!
Thanks again Ron, we’d have not done it without the local advertising.
Regards, Karen Goodger, Milton Keynes Philatelic Society

Thank You
Dear Editor, I would like to thank all of the kind people of Olney that helped my mum recently when she fell on the high street crossing. She was well cared for and the ambulance got her safely off to the hospital
