Whats with the swearing on the back page, the clarion is addressed to me and my family, i had to try and explain what a DFL c**t is t my 8 year old.
I know i cant protect them for ever, but i feel this piece cr*p is out of place on a Family publication.
I do hope that who ever thought it was funny to put this in print will be spoken to.

How interesting. When other BS's drop an accidental clanger, who is that jumps down their throats? May I suggest that it is entirely appropriate that all bonfire boys views about this should continue to be aired on this forum

I know we have a place on the Cliffe forum, but i chose to this forum, not all Lewes people have access to the Cliffe forum, and i have not heard an apology.

My kids asked what it meant, I told them it was a swear word and they left it at that. They know swear words exist and know not to use them.

NICE. I'm with Kendo. Cliffe claims to be biggest BS in Lewes. Entirely appropriate that it is aired on this forum. Free speech is what it's all about, not hushing up an embarassing incident.

Just managed to blag a look at the Cliffe's Clarion and there's no mention of a c**t or even a c*nt as a complete word or even with the asterisks as here. Would agree that there is language that doesn't belong in a family publication, however.

An apology has been sent to the committee and has also been sent out on the circular email that some members get. I expect there will also be one in the next clarion.
This forum is not the place for this sort of complaint and let this be the last of it please.

This is the Lewes Forum as such Bonfire issues are always discussed. As a Cliffe member & a DFL cheesemonger ( actually down from Newick) I have made a complaint to the committee. They have apologised about the language but not the content. I think it should is an inappropriate place to insult people.

Kendo, your out of order. The Clarion is a private publication for members only. I've got a funny feeling that your no member of the Cliffe, you've stumbled over a copy and thought you would stir things up on here.
No Cliffe member would ever do what you've done. I hope you enjoy Littlehampton on Saturday.

Oh yes they would, Efflic. I'm proud to walk with the Cliffe and not ashamed to be DFL 50 odd years ago. Kendo probly used the Forum because he recognised that the Clarion Ed wrote the sad veses herself. So little point in complaining to her. She should stick to editing and leave the poetry to poets.

Effic nothing is private in bonfire not even in the mighty Cliffe,
not sure why you think a Cliffe member would not air views on this forum or any other ,Cliffe do make mistakes & they need to but this one right , is Kendo Cliffe, Waterloo, or even Southover who cares Kendo has a good point lets not forget that.

Yes i am a cliffe member and proud of it, i have been involved with bonfire, not just with Cliffe for a long long time, and why the hell would i go to Littlehampton when i am going to Newick.
There is no point on using the Cliffe forum, no one reads it.
Is what is on the back supposed to funny or a sad attempt at poetry
And i still have to explain to my son what THAT word means
