Jubilee olympiad tea party torch blah di blah. All the supermarkets are going bat shit crazy over the patriotic frenzy that is supposed to be in the air at the moment. I realised it was going too far when Morrisons put up it's Great British Price Crunch flags. 

Great British Price Crunch? Great. British. Price. Crunch. Whaa?

When was that one of our traditions? Crunching prices. You got a price that wants crunching? Call in the British. Them French? Couldn't crunch a euro if they tried.

And they're throwing union jacks at every spare bit of packaging too.....

..............INCLUDING SOME BASIL. Grrrr. Pocco miserio! Mi dispiatchi gianfranco zola. Your basil belongs to us!

A June week in Newgale, some notes..

A trip to an old favourite for a meal out. Not quite up to it's old standards (it's been taken over). It's all in the chips.

A mid-holiday phone call from work to change my shifts. Just what you want. "Hangonhangon i can't find any paper to write it down on.... ok go on i've found something" 

Some rainy holiday entertainment

My moobs, a lament. Phillip Schofield fashion special. A high water mark for the saturday paper.

A day at the cricket
