TANTRUM

 

 

      

 

 

 

 

I picked up some cod in Tesco and they appear to have started to make up for their scant allocation of more ethical fish and meat by labelling like this: 'bottom trawler/line caught'.

 

What cheap trick is that!? Which one is it I wonder...? Why not make all their usually transparent glass jars black - it could be hot chocolate, it could be mayonnaise: over to you folks; you decide.

 

Doesn't work when you try to pay them though - is it a five pound note or a fifty - no cheating - you have to take it home first

 

Don't try it in your Valentines' cards either: I love you/you've ruined my life - which one could I mean?

 

Of course it could have been a misprint. As is 'Tesco' - it used to be spelt either as 'choice' or 'civilisation'.

 

 

Cameron:              Knife crime up by ten percent? My god: why

                           are people stealing knives? Are their

                           kitchens not equipped? They could at least

                           spread it around a bit and steal few forks

                           so when the beleaguered of alarm clock

                           Britain open the draw they're not

                           completely short of knives.

 

Aide:                    Mr Cameron: it means people are being

                           robbed by other people with knives.

 

Cameron:              How is that happening when all the knives

                           are being stolen?

 

Aide:                    Look: knifepoint crimes up 10%. Robbery up

                           4%. Fraund and forgery down by 5%.

 

Cameron:              Well there's your solution for fairer

                            capitalism: invest in what's going up but

                            don't invest in fraud because it's

                            going down. Probably because 

                            all those expense claims got returned.

 

Aide:                     So you want us to try and buy shares in

                            crime? I'm afraid you're getting confused -

                            that's foreign policy…since about 1758.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Alarm clock Britain' David - by the time you're finished.
