Casa Piggy is located in what could justifiably be described as a leafy suburb. One would have to confess that this locale is a safe haven for the urban affluent. It sits in a constituency with an unchallengeable Tory majority. But we do now have a Lidl and we are soon to have an Aldi - both much to the disgust of some reactionary residents, who are still mourning the closure of our Waitrose. Well, you won't find Big Fat Pig complaining. No Siree Bob. This is because the Pig yesterday found that Lidl stock a perfectly acceptable Barolo at £11.99 a bottle. Brave new world indeed.
But away from these (the Pig has to concede) trifling triumphs of the middle classes, things do not look so good. I read a good and pertinent line a couple of weeks ago to the effect that Boris Johnson doesn't care what direction the bus is going, just as long as he is driving. Tragically this is true. We are led by political pygmies and those pygmies are opposed by even shorter nonentities. To push that bus analogy to its limits - none of them can see over the bloody steering wheel. Still, at least I am not going to run out of Barolo this side of Christmas.
Regular readers (a small but loyal band) will be agog to know the subject of this year's OG Advent Calendar. You'll have to wait just a little longer. I'm afraid it's a bit parochial this year but it's given me some fun.
