Desolate North East.

Yes I now see that he is saying that he meant Lancashire.....

A Day In The Life: John Lennon/Paul McCartney: 1967

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
but I just had to look
Having read the book.
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on

I have a certain document signed by an ex minister of transport now a member of the House of Lords. If his signature and hand writing are anything to go by, I would estimate his educational age to be about 6. If these people think it is hip to scrawl their signatures as such, to me it shows a lack of breeding and thought for others and a poor lack of judgement to be in such exalted places of power, these people instead of spouting off from the rear end should maybe go back to school and restart their education, and forget about all their so called fancy public school educations and degrees in politics etc. a few lessons in geography would no doubt serve the one making such stupid gaffes a better educated person plus a visit to the north of England might make him a better man if that were possible.
