HAPPY NEW YEAR

I've had a lovely Xmas and hope to have a good new year so thought I had better do this now as I may not be in any condition to do it in the early days of the new year (self inflicted wounds from parties so no sympathy expected)
Our television companies excelled themselves again this year. I thought that last years efforts made it almost impossible for them to produce a worse line up of programes but I was wrong. they succeeded again this year. Thought I might hold a raffle based on people choosing a time and day that there would be a totally new program on one of the channels but I gave up on that idea as it will probably never happen. Still it's nice to have one channel, the dear old beeb, that's advertising free. Except of course for all the BBC stuff they want to sell.
Enough of that.
What has the new year got in store for us.
For me it will be a race to gather all the info to update the www.tour-devon.com web site. It is getting increasingly difficult to keep up with shop closures. I try to make sure that the shops mentioned on the site are still trading but unless someone tells me I have to tour the area to check if they are. Do me a favour if you know of a shop closing down or a new one starting up - PLEASE let me know.
I'm looking for good B&B establishments to feature this coming year so any info would be gratefully received.
I would like to add some holiday stories to the site if anyone has a tale to tell then please send it in. Any bits for the www.tour-devon.com web site can be sent to admin@tour-devon.com.
Once again
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

Been idle again

Been idle as far as the blog is concerned but busy with the web site.
If you want to see what I've been doing there then go to http://www.tour-devon.com and see. I have a talking dog on there now!!!!
What do we think of the present economical climate. I reckon it's good for governments to bail out banks that caused the problems. I've caused my financial problems so expect to hear from the government any day now, telling me how they are going to help me out. I can dream can't I!!!! good that the fuel has come down in price but funny it hasn't come down at the same rate it went up.
We have all these companies crying out for help because their profits are being hit and I really feel sympathy for them after all their efforts ripping us off with high prices so they made nice big profits for years. Sorry I am being a little cynical. Personally I think the banks and the rest should be allowed to go bust. they caused the problems and it is they that should pay not me, my children and my grandchildren which is what is going to happen. a sort of double whammy. the gov take our money in taxes and give it to organisations that have caused their own problems and then our taxes will increase to replace the money. Surely the right thing would be for those companies to have their profits taken for as long as it takes for them to pay the money back.
right, had my ramble for today.
