Every local meeting has the same familiar faces, and we all know exactly who they are. Which one makes it worth turning up?
Put the items in your preferred order.
The One With The Folder
They arrive twenty minutes early with a ring binder full of papers nobody asked for. Every point comes with a date, a photo and a receipt.
The Parking Obsessive
Whatever the topic, they will steer it round to the white lines outside the shop. Bins, benches, bunting β it ends up being about parking.
The Chair Who Won't Budge
They bang the little gavel, love the phrase "point of order" and have no plans to stand down. Standing for the role against them takes real nerve.
The Tea And Cake Hero
They say almost nothing all evening but arrive with a flask, a tray of mugs and a homemade lemon drizzle. Half the room only came for them.
The Furious Newcomer
They stand up, take a deep breath and tell the room how things were done where they used to live. By the tea break they're on the committee.
