CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS?
I would like to thank all of you whom have written, emailed and telexed me with concern about our water crisis. One worried pensioner from Hoylake in Merseyside, England, even sent me a packet of boiled sweets. Fruitcake or what! Anyway the crisis is now over as it's been peeing down for just over a week now. As you can see from the photograph the water levels are back up to normal.
The green buildings in the background, before you all start asking me, the new changing rooms for the local Pitcairn Sunday Football League. I know what your about to say, you only have 34 inhabitants, how can you run a league?
Well, two years ago we applied for a lottery grant to build a small children's play area, as the field we had in mind was over 120 square metres in size, and so was offically large enough to be called a Sports field, we had to have toilets and changing rooms built, this didn't bother us because it was all to be grant aided. However, the toilets and changing rooms have taken up 80 square metres of our space, so our play area is now only 40 square metres.
The lottery people have just written to me asking for their money back, because our Sports field no longer meets their criteria.
I'm just writing back now telling them to %^$$£ off!
BTW Yes the geese are going to be eaten, no there'll be no stuffing and before you ask Iqbal, they are not halal!
