I'm back, having been out of circulation for most of the summer, so it's about time I had another 'grump'.
The museum hasn't changed much during my absence. The kids are still rampaging around, the oldies are still asking for the toilet, the recent storms have formed a few more leaks and the washing up still needs to be done in 1912.
I missed most of the summer including the crabbing, ah! I believe that over 300 crabs were hauled up, although it was rumoured to be the same crab with a fetish for plastic buckets. The penguin sat on his iceberg on Waterfront all summer. What happened to our bikini-clad damsel? The summer wasn't that bad!
Pudsey's visit on 'Children in Need' evening was a great success although no-one noticed my 5 seconds of fame when I appeared in the background. Jonathan also appeared on TV recently on the 'Antiques Road Trip' but there were no offers for him, so you're stuck with us both.
May I wish you the best of grumbles for the coming year.
There now, I feel better for that.
