Has Christmas come too soon?


Well we know now it has, for those poor struggling banker's, what do they say "God Bless America", no the people who pay taxes will be paying, it is the people who pay the piper, no, never forget that when the politicians say what they are doing for you the trouble is so many people just sit back and take it, so ask the question just what are you doing with my money.

I have spoken before about the redundant banking staff and building workers, who else will go to the wall, as it has been reported this weekend think of seventy five years ago, oh why the young people will be saying, I would just say look back at history ( 75 years ago ).

I do not follow how one can be sacked from one's position, and then reinstated a couple of years later, what is this the mad hatters tea party, have you been reinstated, if so why were you fired in the first place? Are we ever going to have somebody in power, who will actually tell us the truth, no Joan don't be daft, that only happen in fairy land,or are we living in the brown fairy land, of good payment for farmer's, growing our food, oh I forgot I believe Lord Woolton words to the mum's in the forties, how to spread out the rations, yes I do remember the Shepard's pie with little or no meat, must say we did not have a problem with weight gain, and remember no cars, as people did no earn enough to buy one, even a Ford.

Transport in London in those times was bus-Trolley bus, or you just walked or run when an air raid was on. What has this got to do with today, think of petrol prices,Gas & Electricity,plus water, will we be going back to a ration book?

I just wonder how this generation would manage, when you are in a super market just look at the trolleys, I wonder if they are stocking up for a food crisis.

How much of this food ends up in the green bin? forget the other countries lets provide for the children of this country, must say the school meals are improving.

Remember only 80 days to Christmas
