Who would have thought that a volcano in Iceland could cause so much trouble? The Icelanders must have misheard the British government when they asked for a mountain of cash, not a mountain of ash.
For anyone affected by this unusual turn of events, you do have some recourse available to you by EU rule 261. Three meals a day plus accommodation is the legal requirement, if you need any help from the British government try calling 0207 008 0000.
This volcano must be affecting our customers at Unionjacs, as we have had a really dreadful week. We saw so few customers it was hardly worth opening some days. We get our delivery on Tuesday, acts of God not withstanding. So hopefully, business will pick up.
We get some people travelling major distances to visit the shop, I got an email this week from a gentleman who is coming from close to Coimbra, we have had regular visits from a lovely family from Santarem, so the need is there, we just hope we can ride out this ripple. Time will tell.
I would like to close with a request to God, could you please stop this rain? I am starting to grow gills.
Finally a little titbit that has fallen into my lap, Jose Mourinho has just completed the purchase of a house in Manchester. You can take your pick as to whether it’s the red or blue half who will be singing his name soon.
Many thanks, James aged 3 and 3/4’s.
United have signed a new striker from Kabul FC! On his first day of training Fergie picked up the ball and said “BALL”, then pointed at the goal and said “GOAL”, then demonstrated a kicking motion and said “KICK”, understand, kick, ball, goal, GOOOOAAAALLL! The Afghan striker plucked up courage to say “excuse me Mr Ferguson but I speak very good English”, to which Fergie replies “sit down son I’m talking to Berbatov”!!
Looks like someone was listening James - glorious sunshine today.
