Yes, Marion and I are taking advantage of the Merseyrail £1 special offer tonight and rushing hot foot to the new Liverpool One shopping centre to do our Christmas shopping. Meanwhile the trains in the opposite direction will be packed with scousers heading for Southport for the Woolies closing down sale. I am sure that all the other shops in town will be over the moon at the thought of all the money being diverted into pick 'n' mix and I really feel for the 30,000 Woolies workers who will be spending Christmas on the dole. Marion has got a list of presents and we are sticking to it. No impulse buys. Mind you we won't be joining the million people who according to ITN have said that they would consider shoplifting their presents this year.
I have just read that Robert Mugabe says there is now no cholera in Zimbabwe. OK Robert here are a few more facts that you might have missed. There are no poor people in Zimbabwe. The shops in Zimbabwe are choc a block with food. And Zimbabwe inflation is currently running at 2%. Oh sorry Robert getting you mixed up with somewhere else. See your people are starving and you recently printed 100 billion dollar notes (not you printed 100, billion dollar notes, you printed 100 billion dollar notes). Dictators. Don't you just love em.
The riots in Greece are a bit worrying aren't they? Don't pretend it's all about the shooting of a kid by wayward police. It's what happens when you have a country full of educated people and no jobs and I forecasted riots several weeks ago. Problem was I didn't forecast them for Athens but somewhere a lot closer to home.Don't think this is a joke. When you have thousands joining the ranks of the unemployed every day it won't take long before they start to revolt.Woolies today, who knows tomorrow?
Here's another possible song for the Christmas karaoke.
