Any wet weather took placf after his visit, "Instead of airing their grievances through proper channels tbey had rushed into print and blamed me for ihe wet weather," added Mr Semple. "1 am always ready to hear bpna fide complaints and put the matter right, but obviously it's impossible for me to hear minor grievances. That is why the proper machinery, through the engineers, is provided."
