Heads in the sand once again

Another sunny day at the Inn and a fairly busy one - thought I should add a couple of pics, the bowlers we met last week outside the Inn and one immediately recognised RGB from his rugby days, the other, with sunglasses appeared at the Inn today with his wife and son after a two year absence, and in the words of the famous "Arnie" said "I'll be back".

The young couple posing in the corner have just come back to Whitecraigs and are now regulars in the bar, a lovely couple.

I was down again this evening and bumped into a former friend from Penicuik who I have not seen for over twenty years, and again it was that famous catch phrase "I'll be back"".

However, back to reality - Rangers were beaten the other night despite being down to nine men - and from what I gather it has cost the Club a fortune in lost revenue, and the SFA about £1 million .

On the other hand the dreaded Jam Tarts, Heart of Midlothian, head for the next round of the Europa League, having beaten Paksi last night 4 - 1. Next round they have drawn Spurs, so that should be fun.

BUT - back to the real world - if such a thing exists, our beloved bankers and administrators ( not just here) have dug us a monumentally ginormous hole of debt, from which we might never escape - the USA have agreed to increase their debt so so many $trillion, the Italians are in debt; the Spanish ; The Greeks; the RBS loaned so much to Greece and Italy they are now in the red once again - so their shares are in a bit of a decline. Never mind folks, the Chinese will bale us all out once again, at a cost - I am busy learning Mandarin - and getting used to fried rice !!!

I just do not understand it at all - being of the old school we were brought up never to spend what you never had, never to lend what you could not afford to lose and never to borrow what you could not afford to pay off from your income !!!

WHERE WILL IT ALL END ??????
