21 Apr 11 Taste of Paradise
Nipped into Asda today to get a few basics, like bread, butter and lunch meat. Picked up some hummous, and some pita bread too, which is a great snack in my opinion.
I quite often buy juice, although I tend to look for the ‘not from concentrate’ stuff. It might be more expensive but it tastes a whole lot better.
Anyway, I grabbed a litre bottle of Asda’s own brand ‘Pineapple, Orange and Coconut Juice’. When I got home, I didn’t want to wait until I’d drunk the OJ I have in the refrigerator already. Nope. My mum used to make me do that when I was a kid (quite rightly really, I know), and now I’m a big boy, I’ll do as a damn well please thank you.
Anyway, it’s really yummy. Very morish. How morish? I drunk it all.
A whole litre of it in one go. It’s only five hundred calories. Anyway, it’s gotta be a better five hundred than junk food.
A Taste of paradise indeed. Fiji comes to Hounslow. Well, perhaps not, but you get the idea. I’ll have to get me some more real soon. Perhaps I should go to Fiji too.

15 Jan 11 Helping The UK Economy
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.K. economy by spending your money wisely:
* If you spend your money at Asda or Tesco, the money will go to China , Taiwan or Sri Lanka .
* If you spend it on petrol, your money will go to the Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China .
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ..
* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy shares, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in the UK by:
1) Spending it at car boot sales, or
2) Going to night clubs, or
3) Spending it on prostitutes, or
4) Beer or whisky or
5) Tattoos.
(These are the only UK businesses still operating in the U.K. )
Conclusion:
Be patriotic – go to a night club with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a car boot sale and drink beer day and night.
No need to thank me, I’m just glad I could be of help.

Dot Reid is a grandmother who lives in Merseyside in North West England.
Mrs Reid has submitted an application to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council in Hertfordshire for planning permission to demolish the home of Sir Terry Leahy, who is the CEO of Tesco, the United Kingdom’s largest supermarket chain.
Tesco wants to pull down her home along with another 71 homes to build a new supermarket along with a new football stadium for Everton Football Club on the site. She plans to turn the site of Sir Terry’s home into a community garden.
One of Tesco’s main competitors in the UK is Asda, a supermarket chain owned by the US-based Wal-Mart corporation, currently the worlds largest retailer.
