Here's Don's take on the week in the UK.....\n\nThe price of fuel is under investigation in the UK with the big boys being accused of price fixing on oil\u2026..we all know already that we are being ripped off as companies like Sainsburys and Tescos offer up to 12p off a litre when you spend a certain amount in their stores so they are obviously making a tidy profit to begin with\u2026.apparently the offices of the big oil companies have been raided and evidence gathered\u2026this is after the Office of Fair Trading looked into the situation and found nothing wrong\u2026\u2026a pointless organisation with no doubt highly paid staff\u2026they are about as useful as a sponge hammer\u2026.\n \nIt\u2019s all getting a bit out of hand with all these \u201cresearches\u201d\u2026the latest one is by The Institute of Economic Evironment ..or something\u2026who have stated that their \u201cresearch\u201d has revealed that people who stay at work and don\u2019t retire are healthier and happier than those who don\u2019t\u2026...Don wonders how much that cost\u2026."I remember back in the day when I played squash\u2026some geek who was a \u201cSports Scientist\u201d clipped a load of electrical things on one of the lads and after his \u201cresearch\u201d after the game came to the conclusion that you are tireder after 5 sets than you are after three\u2026I never went to Uni but I think I could have told him that before he started."\n \n\u2026..someone has been trampled to death by a bunch of cows\u2026.apparently they were walking through a field with their dog and the cows attacked \u2026.this is very tragic but of course the media are straight on to this\u2026and during a phone in on the radio there were all sorts of similar tragedies with everyone jumping on the bandwagon\u2026.\u201dcows forming semi circles and attacking\u201d\u2026.\u201dpeople getting chased by angry stampeding herds\u201d\u2026\u2026I am a walker and spend a lot of time hiking through fields of cows\u2026if they have calves you give them a wide berth\u2026which is obvious\u2026and if you have a dog you give a bit of thought before disturbing a bunch of animals who wish to protect their young\u2026..the nation are now programmed to think all cows are KILLERS\u2026..the actual statistics are 10 people have been subject to fatal injuries from cows\u2026.in the last DECADE.\u2026.but I suppose it will make people think and act responsibly in the countryside\u2026as well as being paranoid about cows.\n \nThe government are trying to alter the law to make criminals who kill a policeman to remain in jail until the end of their days\u2026this is due to the two policewomen who were recently murdered by a gunman while on a routine call out\u2026.whereas I totally agree with this I still think the stone cell and bread and water is the answer\u2026\u2026\u2026I remember when killing a cop was a hanging offence\u2026.but they once got it wrong and hung the wrong bloke\u2026hence it\u2019s abolishment.\n \n... on a lighter note\u2026.I have just spent a few days in Anglesey and have slowly come to the conclusion that the Welsh Tourist Board definitely need serious help\u2026.I visited Llanfair P.G. and had a wander around Pringles which is on the car park of the station with the longest name\u2026.I have never seen such a load of overpriced rubbish\u2026.people were arriving by the coachload and wandering around with blank looks on their faces buying NOTHING\u2026..twacky overpriced clothes and tacky overpriced souvenirs\u2026the place could be a goldmine if anyone had ANY idea\u2026\u2026I also went to Caernarfon which consists of a wonderful picturesque famous castle and waterfront with a load of run down shops behind it\u2026.I just don\u2019t get it\u2026they should visit Chester or Shrewsbury and see how it\u2019s done\u2026.if Llanfair P.G. was in Vegas it would bring in millions.
