1. Britain has a Police Service not a Police Force
2. Britain doesnt have a constitution it relies on people agreeing in spirit to do things.....for example Q'ing for a bus.

Today with Southern Ral
6 hours to get home because of a water main blowing and a landslide on the tracks. Oh and yes getting office staff out to assist is great but remember they are office staff and if you don't give them decent information to go on they will get lynched by customers.
Suffice to say I didn't have a go at any of them!! Was well behaved.

Holidays
Ok, with the credit crunch in mind this years holiday wasn't going to be a lavish affair. With this in mind I suggested a trip to Ireland. A seaside resort of Kilkee, County Clare.
Booked to fly with Aer Lingus, £150 for the pair of us. Good service..clean plane....and stewards were friendly....O'Leary you might be making loads of money but you don't know jack about customer service. Next decision was where to stay. We looked at booking a cottage but my sister said no stay with her. Fantasico......us with her, her two kids. 2 other sisters turned up and one had her 3 month old son and 2 year old daughter in tow. What a mega mix.
2 minute walk to the beach, 10 mins to where the kids could go snorkling and hunting for starfish and crabs in rock pools. A few pubs.....restaurants and 2 milkshake shops.....heaven!
Her goodself has lost weight, gained a pair of Dubarry boat shoes and a liking for Lyons Gold Blend Tea.
Cliff of Moher weren't all that but it was a nice area, the sing along we had with the kids in the car was fab. Kilrush was a nice little town. Dolphin watching was entertaining. Suntan was also acquired.....and there was us expecting really horrible weather.
So, good break all round. Herself is now looking at houses in the area. Two stipulations are it must have central heating and decent internet access......oh and she's already requested an 8 mm wetsuit....gloves....boots....a boat and I think a jet ski was mentioned....

Avoiding the Mega Supermarkets
Ok so I've started trying to be more sensible,healthier and also shop locally. How do I do this?! I avoid supermarkets especially Tesco.
Here's where I'm getting my food from (its a work in progress so bear with)
1. Fish - supplied by Ocean Delights
www.oceandelights.co.uk
The local fishmonger was put out of business because of a Tesco arriving in the town
2. Meat - Chilley Farm
www.chilleyfarmshop.com
3. Twice a month I have a mixed fruit & veg box from:
www.abelandcole.co.uk
4. Local fruit and veg from a shop near the train station I use.
5. Pet Food comes from a local shop
6. Need to find somewhere else I can buy diet coke and Dr Pepper Zero

News Flash!!
A flash just for the Mrs cause she never pays much attention to what I'm up to or doing.....today I am fully clothed!! (Will wait to see the look of distain on her face when she reads that....lmao)
Ok I've still got a head full of snot and a rotten cough. I thought colds were only meant to last a few days. Anyways here's a picture of the 2 males of the house. Yes, Juno is at covered in not one but 2 blankets. He does so love his comfort.
