27thMarch 2011, A week of going to a chocolate factory

So it has been a few days since my last blog, well what have I been up to?, Well after my day off, which was put to good use, taking some photo's for my portfolio, er sorry newly established flickr site, and catching up with my good friend Mr Bramley at the Vat and Fiddle.

Well nearly 100 pictures had been taken on that day, and 3 pints drunk,  I must admit the bar maid was nice, but I am not in the market, even though she smiled and kept looking in my direction.

Tuesday was just a day of school runs, and yard.  I spent the day sorting the Scania out ready for its 2 days of outings.

Wednesday after my school run and I was off to Cadbury's World along with a colleague.  As it was my first visit I had a wander round after having some scoff.
Well the walk round involved lots of interactive things designed for the kids, with a couple of choccy bars handed out as you walk in followed by another half way round.  where you see the packing process. I made referances to umpalumpas which made the other driver crease with laughter.  I made a return visit the following day.

So what else has gone on?  Well we have had the budget and the government lowered the price of fuel by a penny.  The fuel companies on the eve of the budget raised the prices by a penny, so no real benefit.  The crafty bastards eh?

To top it off there was the TUC march in London and a couple of anachists where giving cries of battle on you tube, to storm Parliament and Buckingham Palace.  But I dont think it will happen.  There were some clashes, but by and large it went well.  I think the protest was a firm message to the Government that by and large the people are not happy.  But they are only the people who elect the tossers in, we have some local elections coming up, and I think that we will learn about the try opinion.  

One last note dont forget to fill in your census forms, give the CIA the info they need, or you will be fined.  It is bad that the company that is contracted to collate the information just happens to be a large US arms company.  What that bloody hell is wrong?  The questions are going in to everything, bar how many times we go to the toilet.  The £1000 fine thing is interesting, well it is a good way to control the people,  basically telling them do what we say or we will hurt you financially.  I suppose one way to beat the system is give the form to an 8 year old and tell them to write what they want, or fill the form in whilst pissed up, both ways will give some interesting answers and confuse the CIA. woohoo.
