Have You Been To Peppa Pig World ...?
"Hands up, if you have been to Peppa Pig World", the Prime Minister asked a startled group of business leaders on a visit to the CBI conference in the North East of England this week.
Boris Johnson had been forced to beg forgiveness, as he lost his place in a rambling speech. Words passed over the head of the audience, as the pages slipped out of sequence in his hands.
The Prime Minister liked Peppa Pig World. "It was my kind of place". There was order in the classrooms, no violence on the streets and an integrated transport system, with gated entry to keep out illegals.
The business was now worth £6 billion, with theme parks in China, America and the New Forest. It was a tribute to the power of UK creativity. It was a pig that looked like a hairdryer. It has been rejected by the BBC. No government in the world, no Whitehall civil servant could conceivably come up with Peppa. "It was" he said "pure genius".
Civil servants were shocked to realize, creating children's characters was part of the Whitehall remit. Mr Blobby was upset by Number Ten acclaim for a surreal Pig.
"Have you been to Peppa Pig World" asked the Prime Minister "Not enough" the retort. It is a long way from Tyneside to the New Forest. HS2 and an integrated rail plan for the North East would help to improve traffic to the resort ... delegates were surely mumbling under their breath ...
That's all for this week. Have a great weekend and a great week ahead, Don't miss our Monday Morning Markets update this week ... it was an interesting week as markets reacted to news of the Omicron variant ...
