we all continually get amazed by the inconsistencies we see …..
a politically correct society gone mad: insisting headscarfs are “a question of choice” but banning a crosson a necklace as it may show religious bias etc. etc.
and we probably all feel a little aggrieved about the acceptance of this by all local authorities etc…
So try this one:
My father in law John Parker..a country man through and through- loves to hunt…..has the boys from the Gas pipeline supplier putting a pipe through his fields… He loses a bit of land .. but it’s a good earner…
there in the field diggers men lorries all stopped…now he’s used to this, he also knows they have to pay him more the longer they take so he casually lollops over, pushes back his cap to watch a gaggle of men in muddied site wellies and jackets surrounding a more fluorjacketed clean-welly official..
apparently work has to be stopped (15 men 3 machines one lorrry later) because…. “there is a doormouse hibernating in the area.”
One “expert’” and his team are employed for 4 days to find the little blighter… whilst the men and machinery wait….
eventually a local wanders in from the road holding a poor squashed doormouse by his flattened tail..is this what you’re looking for????
estimated time of death…3 days 23 hours ago..you know the kind of thing….
well the rains beating down i’m off to get mullered at the bay…….I’ll be back to work tommorrow ……………….door mice or not!
