Barclay of Towie

I SPOTTED A CLANS AND TARTANS POSTER IN THE SAVOY CENTRE.

I was intrigued to see that the logo for Barclays bank is actually an old Scottish heraldic symbol, and that there is a link to something called TOWIE, Obviously not The Only Way Is Essex, but nevertheless an extraordinary discovery.

Hurricane Bawbag

SCOTLAND BRACED ITSELF FOR HIGH WINDS IN A MET OFFICE RED ALERT.

People stayed at home.  Initially there were fears and concerns, but as the winds did not develop as thought, soon derision set in. Through social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, the event was sarcastically named “Hurricane Bawbag”, this trended with various hashtag spellings, however, it was generally considered an in-joke for the social media user, or at least simply owned by the real people out there and not the “establishment”.

Imagine the shock to the system to see the headline on the newspaper the following day. Yes, things are getting worse when newspapers resort to using such language on their front covers.

Winter Fashion Special

THIS IS OUR FIRST EVER WINTER FASHION SPECIAL AT GETTING WORSE.

We have carried out a comprehensive study* of the current trends, and can reveal that this winter’s big thing is the red dress.

*a quick look along the newsagent’s display of women’s magazine covers. The photograph proves our findings. So if you do not want things to be getting worse, if you want to be bang up to the minute fashion-wise at Christmas, then WEAR RED.

You heard it here first (although it does work for Santa)!

Ma Sleeping Bag

I WAS SURPRISED TO DISCOVER A SUPERMARKET SHELF FULL OF MUMMY SLEEPING BAGS.

Poor old Mum! I thought. For the life of me, I couldn’t find a daddy Sleeping bag area.

Things are getting worse when mothers get their own range of sleeping bags — and indeed, Tesco Value sleeping bags at that. Let’s hope mums don’t have to use them this Christmas!
