Christmas Cheer!!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

The following is a topical carol, courtesy of the funny Richard Littlejohn of The Daily Mail

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

The phones ring
No one’s listening
All the staff
Have gone missing
Check the website
You won’t get a flight
Stranded in the Heathrow hinterland.

Locked away
Are the gritters
Read about it
On Twitter
It’s nobody’s fault
We ran out of salt
Stranded in a Winter Blunderland.

Snowfall came
Without warning
You could blame
Global warming
But nobody cares
About the polar bears
When they’re stranded in a Winter Blunderland.
