Summary: With all the wonderful publicity prince Harry’s had…which has endeared him even more to everyone…the grand old Duke of York is trying to get in on the act by abseiling down a building…for charity…yeah sure..The price of petrol and diesel is under investigation….it has been announced that when the price of crude goes up the prices at the pumps also go up immediately…but when the crude price drops nothing happens ....... There’s a big thing about child care going on here…and how single mothers have difficulty feeding their children….now I maybe totally out of line here but the mothers they show are…how can I put it…easy to see…hardly starving… another classic from our wonderful legal system….some judge (who is obviously spends all his time in his country manor) has let a burglar walk free despite him having burgled 3 houses in 5 days…AND has a prison record……and finally, there was a recent move afoot to bring the Royal Iris back to the Mersey….but there’s no chance as it would be too expensive to do up...My band played on it many times and my memory was of everyone dancing from one side of the dancefloor to the other as the boat rocked from side to side….and a classic gig when the engines started up all the blew all the fuses in the amps…and all the lights went out…thankfully a couple of torches got the show back on the road….but not until about 45 minutes into the voyage. AND you had to get the gear off pretty nippy at the end…otherwise you could wave it goodbye from the landing stage.
