I was chatting with the village butcher (one of my fellow Ugly Sisters), the other day and he was saying that sales of mince have shot up since the horsemeat story broke. I haven't had too many ready meals since being back, except for a couple from M&S, (love their Mousakka) and the homemade meals available from the butcher. If anything, I hope this situation will be good for the smaller businesses like the local butcher etc.

Well, I swear this is no wind-up folks, two names jumped right to the top of the list.....

Can I get away with saying I'm suddenly vegeterian?

The way I look at it all is as long as we can stop North Korea starting the third world war then maybe we will all have a chance, but all the time China & Russia continue to suppy them with whatever they need ----- I cant see how we can stop them really,
Barclays is in trouble, there laying off 4,000 more people, --- said today that in 2012 they only made £600 million ------ but in contrast in 2011 they made £6 billion in profits, whats going on here?
I saw the British film awards the other day on tetellynd hohonestlyt looked like the American acacademywards ---- without all the glamour, I think Britain had a couple of films, and the rest came from U.S. the whole of the royal opera house was filled with mostly American superstars ---- with a little sprinkle of British stars, Hmmmm it was quite strange to watch, they did say that last year Britain did invest only a third of there usual amount of pounds in movie making,
the British music awards are coming up next, I wonder how many actual awards will be given to British artists, and will America also dominate that industry too?
Well keep safe and all of you who are still in your adopted countries take a deep breath of relief!!!! ----- at least your not eating horse meat when you think your eating cows beef ------ or are you? ----- how would anyone know?

Oh yes its alright her though cause the label says 100% British Beef ---- so thats what it is right? yeah right
