| Caviar Pizza and Other Shocking Facts. |

I was shocked by 2 ‘facts’ this week that I read on teletext. The first was that the average family spend £600 a month on groceries! I mean 600 quid! Yowzah! I reckon that can’t be right and there’s one super rich family somewhere (I’ll call them the Beelzebubs) that are spending £100, 000 + a month and it’s messing up the statistics. The Beelzebubs' daughter (Porka..erm no Porsche-ah) has a thing for takeaway caviar pizza. Anyway I blame them it’s all their fault. Maybe I should sue them for the shock and strain of having to pick myself up off the floor after reading that statistic.
The other ‘fact’ was discovered when I read a report about diabetes information websites. Some official, can’t remember if he was government or NHS, was saying that the sites are too difficult to understand as they cater to a reading ability of an educated 11-17 year old and the UK average reading ability was that of an educated 9 year old. WHAT!?*! Generations have spent 9-11 sodding years in school for this! I am still frothing at the mouth because of that one; I’ll have to clean the keyboard. |
