Spanish banking kitchen sink sale wrecks airman's memorial.

Whilst the banks in Spain go mainly down the plughole faster than a cowardly matador being chased by a mad bull. I should imagine a whispered "There but for the generosity of the UK taxpayers ..." is doing the rounds of our very own financial institutions!
If you've got any cash hidden under the mattress a Spanish summer holiday might just see you with some interesting assets to declare upon your return to the UK. Because the Spaniards are going to have to sell everything including the fregadero de la cocina to try to save themselves this time.
Especially if Frau Austerity Merkel has anything to say about it!
Although there's nothing austere about her choice of weapon when she goes a hunting Spaniards.

Meanwhile back in the UK the wreck that is believed to be the former PM, found hiding not in Kirkcaldy but under the River Thames, is being moved to a more secure site.
It is hoped that by putting him at the bottom of a flooded former quarry in Leicestershire he will perform a better service to nautical archaeologists than to his present constituents.
Although the fall-out from his "Saving the World" tour still rampages thru the countryside.

One thing we do do well in this country is honour our Fallen Heroes, apart from the disgraceful nuLabor Years that is.
So it is good to see that even for those Fallen Heroes whose graves are in one of the most remote parts of this country are going to be suitably remembered.

Well I'm off down to the Republic Duchy of Cornwall today to avoid/celebrate this Jubilee bun fest. I'm also taking my eldest daughter, her partner and for his first visit to the right side of the border my youngest grandson.
Suitable visas have been obtained for everyone.

Good morning WoaR,
You know me too well!
Next weekend I shall be up in Grosmont for the MYMR's Swinging Sixties festival.
I wonder what my grandsons will make of seeing that?
