My second car boot of the season at Banham Zoo this morning. Highlight was selling several items I found in a skip after a good brush up! Talked to a gent about postcard collecting and car booting. Apparently the car boot at Portman Road Ipswich last Sunday was the biggest he'd ever seen - and it's only February! Recession times indeed...
While so many of us are scraping around to make ends meet, we hear that Sir Fred Goodwin has retired at fifty on a pension of £650,000 a year having left his bank in debt (billions in debt) which WE have to pick up the bill for. So here's a man who has spent a short working life exploiting others - being paid obscenely for his exploitation - while the many of us have always tried to do our best for and by our fellow man/woman - and we get next to nothing!
Society won't be able to take this division and after my January 2008 Recession prediction, it doesn't take many brain cells to foretell of tremors then earthquakes to come...

Hi, Rupert - remember me? You were once, long long ago, kind enough to publish some of my juvenilia, and even kinder to visit me in my student cell and be nice about the barely edible meal I presented you with there. I'm rather better at creating curries now... :-)
