Sand in the morning slipway to a long shore Women young for now women children poor Men swimming out to board wooden boats Out for the fish And a fire to roast Fish move away or die no-ore can we eat Killing everything that moves For some Just a treat As we drive our food away Two things matter The old can open Self opening tins And a can opener Needs a last grasp |

No Self opening cans are designed for cheapness and of course the ability to buy a knife to use the back blade to lever up the self-opening slot, which then puts a knife you didn't need into a house that an older person didn't want. Can openers require that rain doesn't fall, so sun and strength power those wrists. Fresh vegatables require collection and not opening the door to the wrong person Think for a moment I am not old nor disabled. I just use my brain and I know what is 'whatever you choose to call it' but I do from living and working a lot of countries. I was in Singapore by 16, and Manila at 48, apart from Europe of course. Deliver what works but you can't sell to people who are dead, and the Governments are notorise from failing use money beyond, what enriches a politician. You can be as big a crook as you want, if the Government does it, and valued as a 'Statesman' Dave |

Thanks And I always say I wont let emotion run away from me but it is so stupid and alwas down to a politician's vote Who have enriched themselves and control even more before they started The UK has now to be considered one of the most incompetent, and the hidden corruption where a rape victim is 'offered sex by a UK INS person', who is only suspended as he didn't break the law by promising her, that he would fix it.
