Holidays In The Sun.

I was talking to Sheila Wilson last night who is off to South Africa next monday. She says that the temperature there at this time of the year is usually between 30-40c. We also have Louise, The Lamb Inn barperson, who is currently sunning herself in Barbados.

Given that we have now reached what most experts agree is the most depressing week of the year, perhaps we should all take a holiday in the sun. Perhaps we could hijack a few of the 'jolly green giant' double deckers that ramble around the place and, following in the well worn footsteps of Sir Cliff in 'Summer Holiday', head of for warmer climes. Things being what they are however, the 'jolly green giants' would probably break down before they got to the ferry at Plymouth.

We shall just have to put on an extra jumper or two, have a glass of something warming and envy those lucky enough to be under warmer skies. They should think themselves lucky. With the decline of sterling and the credit crunch its doubtful that many will be seeing anywhere warmer then Torquay this year.
