… what is happening to you?
A beautiful spring day in the UK, on our way to the land of north - Liverpool. The train journey takes about 2 hours, plenty of time to read the newspaper. Liverpool football club is on “sale”. Clegg - the new Obama? Possible coalition? Goldman Sachs fraud… yes, we all know that the bankers heads won’t roll in the end, more news from the volcano, etc… We are shortly arriving in Liverpool was the announcement on the “Emporio Brandson” Virgin train. Looking out the window - I can’t help myself but taking a snap shot of the impressive coal power station with the scrap metal “mountain” in the foreground, wondering what is expecting us.
