Royal Credit Crunch!!

I have been a bit busy lately to write anything plus nothing really happened, it has been a bit boring. Yesterday I had to babysit all day with the kids as their mum had a training day at the Arabic school where she works as a part time teacher, so I suggested to the kids that we go and watch a movie, my daughter Aida straightaway mentioned going to see "High School Musical 3" as soon as Amir heard her he screamed noooooooooooooo, I wanted to join him! I really would never consider watching this film if you paid me but Aida won! we went to watch it and the film did not disappoint me one bit, it was just as bad as I thought it would be, thank God I fell asleep and missed half of it.

This actually brings me to a point I wanted to mention before, Disney channel which produced the movie has more or less taken over other kids TV channels in Britain and probably all over the world, the problem I have with that is my kids know quite a lot about America, ask Amir about many American states and their capitals and he would give you the answer straightaway, you might think this is good! but ask him about Britain and London and England?? he is still confused about them, he is not sure if London is a city or a country, he even pointed out to me the other day when watching something with the Golden Gate Bridge that this is San Fransisco, I doubt that he really knows British or even Libyan landmarks, I am not against them learning about America but it seems American culture is taking over, there are many British TV channels but no one watches them any more, not sure what the solution is but perhaps Disney should consider showing home grown TV programs here in Britain and everywhere else including Arab countries but that perhaps will never happen!!

Britain has been hit so hard by the Credit Crunch, no one is immune!

One of the greatest things about living in this country is that you can make harmless fun about anyone you want without fear of losing your head.
