Why a yuan you may ask and not a Yankee dollar? That's cuz our little far eastern friends own nearly the whole bloody world and with current pound exchange rate with our nearly bankrupt European neighbours being a laughing stock, the yuan will soon be a leading world currency!
So India are spending billions on nuclear weapons, they have a space programme, we however are on our uppers cutting like a native Mayan in Apocopalypto (topical I watched it last night), but NO we send them foreign aid!!
HELLO the empire is no more! Listening to some daft Labour politician lauding the Coalition for still contributing I was minded to wonder as to the reasons and reverse logic that abounds!
WE are the poor relative now, why do we still think in Empire mode?
Anyway on to more parochial matters - son number 2 was 21 last week and kindly condescended to return to the nest so Dad could take the extended family out for a lavish meal in Brindley Place.
Time out for a minute I must sing the praises of Piccolino's the staff were very attentive, the food outstanding and I found some very drinkable wine at less that £20 per bottle.
So back to number 2 son he arrives home Monday, we go to TGI Tuesday lunch, then shopping in Selfridges, then to Piccolino's in the evening. Is he becoming a home bird I hear you say?
NO bloody chance, he pisses back off to Liverpool Wednesday in his birthday present and despite saying drive carefully son it's quick,please let us know u get back safe, lying awake til late waiting to hear. Why didnt you phone him I hear you ask?
This is number 2 son who doesn't go with phones, on his 15th in as many months!
He did text his Mum the next day at mid day to let her know he got back safe!
Kids couldn't eat a whole one!
