Civvie Street
Dear Civvie Street,

You really are shit aren't you? Pointless, mundane, lacking in almost every way.

When you once again walk upon your pavements it's clear how rarely any endeavour holds worthwhile merit. Your residents whine and complain at the things they should be grateful for. The term civvie "street" implies a community, belonging and a common bond. This, I assure you, is a gross misrepresentation.

Had I one wish it'd be to leave you and move back to "the green".

Civvie street, hopefully it won't be long before they knock you down and build yet another retail estate .... even a new Matalan and Poundland would be an improvement. At least in Poundland you know where you stand, being as everything is £1.

Whining and complaining at the things they should be grateful for, eh?
Like what exactly? The loliticians expenses combined with the bail-out of the bankers depriving us of money for civic services?

The unasked-for, long, expensive, bloody, unprovoked unnecessary, unjustified, unwinnable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan against "terror"?

The dispossessed, disinterested kids on the sink estates, hanging around stabbing each other and/or getting their teenage girls pregnant, and then sitting on the dole for the rest of their lives?

The steady, systematic destruction of British industry, and watching the infrastructure getting torn into huge hunks that are sold to private companies, who are in turn subsidised by the government while they raise their prices and lower the quality of their services, and the general public, with no other option, has to swallow it and ask for more?

Yup. Nail on head.

Poundland
Sometimes, if an item is damaged it has a 'slightly imperfect' sticker on it and as such is marked down to 50p. I got my hair wax there for this price yesterday because there was a slight crack on the lid which wasn't too much of a problem for me.


Cheers.

Poundland, why do you forsake thee? Your remit is clear ... everything is £1. Yet here you go reducing items to 50p thus sacrificing the very essence of your being.

You've changed Poundland. You've changed a great deal my friend.

I don't follow old chap.
Are you a military type who feels annoyed that people like myself are forced to pay for your killing-based travels into places which are no threat to our country?

I'm not at all annoyed about it. :) At least this way even you soap dodging hippies have a use.
