Brexit-Cum-Uppance




A beautiful English village nestling in the verdant countryside of the Kentish coast.  Noted for its fine old 16th century Gove Hall, replete with wood beams, gargoyles and a collection of early 20th Century beer bottle openers.

The vicar of Brexit-Cum-Uppance was upset to see Nigel and George fighting in the street after their all-nighter at the local Travelodge.  Earlier in the day, they had drunkenly staggered up the cliff path, reached the edge of the cliff and shook their fists and made rude gestures across the channel to the continent beyond.

Constable Cameroon had witnessed their antics and concluded that a nasty ‘accident’ could befall them if they made a habit of that behaviour.  It was a busy day for the constable, he twice reprimanded little Boris for veering in and out of the traffic on his tricycle- first out and then in and out again- not willing to commit to one way or the other.


The constable was cycling home, and contemplated popping in to the local coffee shop, the Chocolate Starfish.  However, his wife Angela would be waiting with his dinner, a hearty sausage stew, none the wurst for that, thought Cameroon, with a little giggle to himself.

The Vegetarian's Dilemma

I've been a vegetarian for over ten years. However, we have two cats- they eat meat, so that makes me a consumer of meat (of course, not literally).  There are pitfalls for the would-be pure vegetarian.  There are meat products that are contained in all kinds of things- I guess the most obvious would be leather shoes, but gelatine can be in sweets and pill coatings to name but two.
So, my point is, I guess, vegetarians have to tread very carefully if they want to get 'all preachy' about it.  After all, they may be treading in leather shoes!
