Inconsistencies

Two trips away this summer that have been designed as a 'Everythings a Pound' theme holiday are now completed. Scottish lowlands and then the South east. These events have been peppered with disassociated thoughts, often inspired by what has been seen. Yes, as like a modern day Keat, Wordsworth of 'Mad' Sammy Coleridge I am inspired by the environment into which I have been plunged. Hence, ponderings in the car park at a Little Chef in North Yorkshire (God Help us) on a finely crafted, official looking road sign, repleate with two high quality grey steel poles and Ministry of Officialness lettering reads "Caution Pot Holes". Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair! - for I Ozymandias have built me a bloody great sign rather than beseech my slaves to tend to the potholes of doom that litter my domain.

And then we have Radio Dedications. For the love of Pete what proportion of the listening public are entertained by George wishing Cynthia a Happy Birthday ? Let em guess ..... George ...aaaand.... Cynthia? I'm close .. aren't I? As for the 1.25M ABC1s grimly clutching the steering wheel on the M1 .. NO WE ARE NOT REMOTELY INTERESTED. Oh for a beaker full of the Warm South - to brain the witless morons who continue this Great British Tradition.
