[Guinness]

Apparently I’m a gammon….

You know one of those red faced baby boom angry little Englanders..

I was dragged up on a council estate with a black and white 20 inch TV and a radiogram for communication…the phone box was a few hundred yards away. Had to switch the immersion heater on for an hour to get hot water for a bath and boil a kettle to do the washing up. The sitting room had a square carpet that didn’t quite fit and was supplemented with about a foot of linoleum around the edge. Pretty much had two sets of school clothes, a couple of sets of playing out clothes and one best for church or visits to gran. Walked to primary, bus to secondary school....if I got ill at school, I toughed it out until home time. Etc..etc.etc..

Those of an age know what I mean.

But hey…those that label me as a gammon little Englander are the self same ones who cause the angry red faced little Englander in me…the just stop oil nutjobs in London, the eco warriors who deface buildings and works of art, the halfwits who let down the tyres on 4x4’s. The Europhiles who ignore stuff like..Macron who today has weakened NATO, Merkel who sunk everything into Russian gas, the village idiot from Turkey, Van Der Leyden etc..

And…you know what..I’m proud of the label….
