Post Christmas blues.

Oh Joan not more gloom and doom, well some nice person passed on to me a lovely virus, you know cough and feel absolutely rotten, so that is why I have said Christmas blues, there was no large meals, as I just could not face the thought of cooking, never mind I hope you all had a great time with love ones.
 
Which of you rushed out to buy all those cheap bargains, remember that was your call from the Prime Minster, sorry I for one did not, just thinking about all the bills that mount up in January, and this month always seems to be all gloom, I like the bright sun shine and money in my pocket.
 
I had been reading about the food shortage, and how we do not grow enough for this country to feed us, some bright spark said we should have rationing, oh my we would see a very slim population then, and the good old black market would thrive, we used to call them spivs who always had the good.
 
In the news there is talk that the gas price may go up, due to the dispute between Russia and the Ukraine,it states that Russian gas boss's bleak warning to the EU.  It makes me laugh when a analyst, states there's no need to panic yet but there will be an impact if it gets badly out of hand, what does that mean total cut off, oh just listen to this quote " A DECC spokeswoman said: The department is taking this seriously but at the moment we don't think it will affect Britain".  Well ask your self do we produce enough gas for our own consumption, why don't you ask your gas supplier where do they buy gas from!
This brings me back to the food question, could we be ion the same boat with food as we are going to be with gas, will we go back to coal for fuel, do we generate enough electricity, I for one would get very angry if I could not have a CUP OF TEA..
 
Sorry I have not asked if you are reading this are you one of the unlucky ones who have been made redundant, I would like to know how you and your family are coping.  Look out for the Prime Minister coming your way, remember he who saves the world.
