Aye Cappy a man of the world happy in Prenton these days. Not long back from Yvrac and was delighted to see a letter from EDF in the boîte aux lettres informing me that my energy bills will be capped at 4% until the end of the year. The wife was saying we need a new spud peeler, thought of you. Don't suppose you could reccomend one, It needs to be left handed though.

Re: The Bid for Leadership Race....
One report suggests that if Truss wins she may move into number 11 rather than 10.
Apparently with the number of kids she has number 10 may not be big enough for her family.
I do feel sorry for her, such a challenge to have to make such a choice.
Bit like the guy I met sleeping on the sidewalk outside Kensington Gardens.
Told me he had a choice, on the side walk or on the grass in the gardens.
Gee some people do have terrible choices to make in life.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

A Royal Navy frigate has just intercepted a rowing boat in the Channel with four ******s on board heading for the English coast.
The Captain hailed them asking where they were going, "we are invading England" they said, "what, just the four of you? says the Captain (after he stopped laughing), "we are the last four, the other 6 million are already ashore" was the reply.
