Don’t panic Tris we are all right behind Saint Theresa of May and her Three Amigo’s … allegedly!
Well I think that’s what the woman from London was saying when she phoned me personally to tell me how fantastic Saint Theresa was doing in winning over the whole of the E.U. to her way of “thinking.” LOL

I never wanted for my kids to ever have to fear the threat of nukes in the way I did in the 70’s/80’s but they’ve started talking about it in the same way. It’s difficult to reassure when the threat feels ever present in the hands of idiots.

It’s actually very scary that two people with nukes are both spoilt children, although one of them is a 70 year old spoilt child.
Who knows what is around the corner with people like Kim and the orange loonie.

I don’t buy their aprons. Full stop. It is oppressing us everywhere just now. I just wish that they would wrap all the unhealthy sugary and fatty stuff in it. Yesterday I threw ( with contempt too ) back a carton of cream to dip my new season Scottish ( delightful ) strawberry’s in. I came home with only French cheese. I had to go to two shops to get the provisions because the first lot only had wrong-flagged versions of the peppered mackerel and the eggs.
I have complained to the staff, but it gets worse every trip. Before long I’ll be forced to eat a Mediterranean diet because there’ll be bugger all left to eat. Is that Hovis which is now draped in the flag baked in Tollcross? I know the Bristol Bar is just across the road, but there’s no excuse for that fashion faux pas.

I don’t think they’ve really thought this through. I picked up a lovely big mug in Matalan, perfect for coffee, over Tollcross way (is it Tollcross that’s the problem?!), spotted a union jack stuck inside and accidentally let slip, ‘Aye, that’ll be f******right!’ in front of my fifteen year old who was most vexed that I had been so affronted. 😉 Their sales are going to plummet at this rate. What is it with the flags everywhere? I don’t remember that being a thing.

LOL. I must admit that even Munguin, who has the mildest of natures, gets royally miffed at the number of them everywhere.
I don’t remember it being thing either, and I can’t remember it being a thing anywhere else, except perhaps sometimes on fresh food… in order to show how fresh it was.
I was recently in Hungary and Austria. I remember seeing flags on their castles and parliaments. That’s it.

LOL. The compensation is that a Mediterranean diet is infinitely more healthy than a Scottish one.

I hate currencies that mean a lot of calculating with big numbers.
Remember Italy, when there 1000+ lira to the pound? You got the bill in a restaurant and you felt that you were a millionaire paying out hundreds of thousands! Trying to work out what it had actually cost was a nightmare.
