The Price Of Chips at Robbie's Concert

We went to see Robbie Williams play at Manchester the other week, and whilst we were waiting for the support bands to come on, we decided to get something to eat.

Chips seemed to be the best option, so we found a stand and ordered a tray to share.

We got them, and handed over £1.50, only to see about 20 chips sat in the smallest tray you've seen!

If you work out how much they were charging per chip, you'd be looking at 7.5p per chip!!

It's An Outrage!!

Good grief - you could buy a sack of potatoes for £1.50 and stuff yourself full of chips (like this chap here...).

I bet he didn't pay £1 bloody 50 for that tray, only to waste them by stuffing them up his nose and in his ears!!

When I buy a tray of chips, I want it to look more like this and cost about 90p. And be smothered in red sauce and vinegar too.

When Not To Clean Main Roads

Near where I live, there's a road I use every day to get to work, and it's a main road. It connects two of the main routes into Nottingham, and is therefore very busy.

It's also single lane either way, and has got houses on one side, with cars parked outside them. This makes it narrow at the best of times, especially when you throw in the buses that use it and have to stop frequently to let people on and off.

Now, although I'm not an expert on these things, I would suggest that one of the busiest times on this road (and most others) would be 07:00 - 08:00 on a Monday morning, when people are trying to get to work. Usually not in a good mood either, what with it being the first day back after the weeken and all that.

So when do you think would be possibly the worst time to send a road sweeping lorry up such a road at it's customary 3 miles per hour?

But when do you think the local City Council have chosen as their preffered time to do just that??

It's An Outrage!!

As if driving to work on a Monday morning isn't bad enough, try doing it with one of these lumbering beasts holding you up!!

A journey which should take three minutes tops from one end of this road to the other often takes up to 15!!!!!

What the hell's wrong with doing it at 10:00, or 20:00?? I'm all for clean streets, but not when it means I have to sit behind the lorry that's doing it, every week without fail.

Do Councillors have a care for their city's motorists, or do they just fail to notice the gridlock they're causing because they're too busy squandering my tax pounds on chauffeur driven taxis??
