There seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel

DOWN at the Barking Dog the clients are planning a holiday. Having studied the regulations about the colour of the places available, they have decided that the best option would be the Falkland Islands since it is mostly greenish, a little yellow around the edges and white in the winter. It is currently on the green list, but could, or could not, end up on the amber list which means you might be able to go on Fridays but probably not if it’s raining, perhaps.

However, the islanders do like you to show a special interest in rockhopper, magellanic and gentoo penguins and, on entry, deny that the French navigator Louis-antoine de Bougainville founded the islands’ first settlement in 1764. Your credentials should indicate somewhere your passion for the beatification and canonisation of Margaret Thatcher and that you have watched at least three episodes of The Crown.

I think they finally agreed to take the advice of the Welsh Government and have a holiday in Wales. Perhaps they heard the plan of prime minister De Pfeffel to build post-brexit underground tunnels between the different nations of the UK with a roundabout under the Isle of Man. Although some described the idea as about as likely as an optician in Barnard Castle, the concept could be considered as a feature in the county council’s Air Quality Management Plan.

The groundbreaking concept of a series of underground tunnels throughout Carmarthenshire is guaranteed to eliminate nitrogen dioxide but increase tunnel vision. But there seems to be no light at the end of some of the discussion to deal with the Carmarthenshire hotspots threatening to ruin people’s health, so whether it is a huge boring machine or the continuation of a long boring enquiry, something needs to be done now.
