When the Right Honourable Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Gideon Oliver Osborne, opened our new by-pass recently, I could not help but feel a slight pang of disappointment. I just couldn’t raise myself from under my warm duvet, to go and watch the cutting of the ribbon.
Mr Osborne’s first job was entering the names of people who had died in London into a National Health Service computer.He also briefly worked for Selfridges, re-folding towels, so, yes, I take my hat off to him for his ascent up the career ladder, but….. BORING!
However, had they invited John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne, to snip the ribbon, I would have shot down the A34 faster than Rio Ferdinand’s Jag, when he is late for training.
One wouldn’t have expected the “Prince of Darkness” to walk the route, but just listening to his “Brummy” drawl as he declared the new road “******* open!”, would’ve been enough for me.
So think on Councillor Wesley Fitzgerald, next time you want something else opening, let your imagination run a little wilder.
Osborne or Osbourne?
