The Eyes are Watching You!

Don went to Anglesey for a few days this week…it was windy and cold…but he got a few good walks in…one of which incorporated walking the length of the beach at Rhosneigr…and he never saw a soul for the whole two miles … most unusual…and he made the mistake of getting some diesel while he was in Llanfair PG….£1.50 a litre !!!!....£1.35 everywhere else…lesson learnt….and Sainsburys give you 12p off a litre when you spend 60 quid in their store…..so they CAN do it…hmmm….and the petrol bods tell us they are not making a profit.

The guy who created a “bomb finder” and sold it to the middle Eastern countries has been on the news….he made 50 million pounds…and the thing was a fake….and they are still using it at checkpoints in various countries….what I find hard to understand is why NO-ONE checked it out first??...this guy must be some salesman…he has a huge house in Bath with a built in Roman swimming pool etc etc….the device is like a car aerial on a plastic box and is of no use whatsoever…very very strange…I’ve heard of selling sand to the Arabs but this is ridiculous.

There is a new idea which has emerged…designed to cut crime….it’s a picture of a pair of eyes which is placed near bike sheds etc…which supposedly puts thieves off because “they are being watched”…apparently this has worked…however now it has been broadcast all over the TV the would be thieves who probably thought there was a camera now know there isn’t…so we’ll see how this transpires…yep I sometimes wonder what these people are on.

Guess what…this country is becoming one of the most “peaceful” in Europe…..the Norfolk Broads now has little or no crime and is the most peaceful part of the country according to “research”…however some of the towns around the east end of London are the least peaceful…but once they have sorted out the gang culture we will all live in harmony….unlike New York,Amsterdam…etc….I don’t know who comes up with this rubbish but I’ll bet they are on a good salary.

On the showbiz front I was well impressed with Petula Clarke who is about to embark on a tour to promote her latest album…which is very good (the bits of it I have heard)…she was on morning tele and she looks fabulous…considering she’s 80 !!!...there’s hope for us all….and the latest thing for old rockers is to do the cruises where they have a free holiday and get paid…a couple of members of Genesis were on the tele talking about their plans to do just this…….I did a couple of gigs a while back with Bobby Vee and he asked me if I did the cruises and I told him I didn’t and never really fancied it…about a month later I was looking on the internet and saw “Carribean Cruises featuring The Bobby Vee Show”….DOH !!....you can’t win ‘em all.
