Today I had my monthly craving for crap, no doubt prompted by talking about it yesterday, yet I went through the arches and at 1130 queues. It’s not fast then why have it. OK my alternate a Branston, Cheddar and tomato sandwich may not be anyone’s idea of health but as I made the bread at least I knew the salt in the bread 0.000 grms. Most sandwiches will have .6 to 1 grm of salt – 10 to 16.66% of your salt allowance in just the bread!

It’s a typical choice for middle-class ignorant hypocrites who sneer at McDonald’s but are too ill-informed to realise how unhealthy their alternative choices are.

(This doesn’t imply that Minute Baguettes are in the unhealthy category as I’ve not looked at their menu so they may serve low-fat, low-salt food.)

The one thing I learned from Rockumentaries and sportsmen is that sometimes the best stuff comes from the banalist sources. From self obsession even. Their petty feuds, sex lives, addictions, opinions are utterly banal human functionings. Indeed their very pedestal makes most of them utterly beyond profoundity or purpose.

Compare this to X Factor candidates whose only qualification and talent is to expose their emotions, lack of personality and deep ignorance wholly to the nation – to beg for votes like Brown in Rochdale. To prostrate themselves before the national OCD to know every detail to hold for no longer than the 15 minutes it takes to forget these people.

One up for Kate Bush.

BTW If coalition lasts let’s see how many of these stroke of pen “Green” cancellations like 3rd runway come back.

These distribution centres are connected to the A14 via the A1(M) via the intersection at Huntingdon.

This road is so clogged by importing the tat that we can no longer produce for ourselves that New Labour proposed upgrading the A14 around that area into a 6-lane road. That upgrade has now been cancelled by the new government — I’d like to see them reverse our reliance on imports — otherwise this is pretty short-sighted.

Anyway although mainly because it’s stem appeared to be dying had my first onion from my garden – Ok it was more like a huge spring onion but it traveled less that 20 feet from garden to pan.
