Last
year a builder who came to do some work at my home was
seriously delayed by traffic so arrived an hour late to
begin work. He said to me that he thought 95% of people
on the roads did not have the abilities to drive and
should have their licences taken away from them. I
think he was exaggerating a bit, the figure more accurately
should be 94% !
It is not the motor car that is the
curse of modern society, it is the people who drive
them.
Yesterday I sent out letters to lots
of people setting up appointments for all kinds of
things
. One was to a travel company I want to organise
the New York and San Francisco Fun Runs in the
OurRebekah project. This company has offices in
several locations up and down the country. I told them I
was happy to meet in any of its offices
BUT NOT LONDON.
London is the country's most unfriendly city. I avoid it
like the plague.
This
nasty little man will charge you £11.50 a day to drive
through London's congestion zone. Can you tell me why
any sane person should pay such an extortionate fee to
sit in a sodding
traffic jam ?
Last year local councils made £693
MILLION from car parking fines. This idiot's Borough of
Westminster alone made £46.4 MILLION profit. Get caught
in a London traffic jam and an angel of the antichrist
will appear out of nowhere and stick a ticket on your
car's windscreen !
Incidentally, the first chapter in my book THE CASE FILES OF DAVE McDERMOTT is about a serial killer targeting traffic wardens. It will cost you 99p to download it from Amazon. Go on a dare you to read it.
So
I have set the scene for today's diary entry. That was
the introduction, now for what I really want to say.
YES I do want to start a traffic jam.
Will you help me ?
The traffic jam I want to start is in cyberspace.
I want Google's search engine to go into meltdown.
I want BT's Open Reach engineers to have to repair every
cable in every road as computers, laptops, tablets and
even the dreaded smart phones log into the
OurRebekah website.
Today my
task is to go through the entire website and clean out
the many, many typo's. Then the traffic jam can start -
so bring it on !
There are some fantastic
projects within
OurRebekah - Yesterday many of those letters I
sent out were for items in our e-bay auction. With the
support of Doctor Phil Mason, one of the country's top
renal consultants, and Member of Parliament Iain Stewart
I contacted Leeds United FC, MK Dons FC, Red Bull
Racing, Monarch Airlines and Northampton Saints
RFC.
That travel company I spoke about is Trailfinders who
will be organising our
New York and
San Francisco fun
runs.
I
know I am saying I DO NOT want you to support me in my
Bureau
of Silly Ideas frog challenge but secretly I do
.
We are now recruiting to build up a team for
The
Three Peaks Challenge. This will be an
attempt
on the three highest mountains in Britain the like of
which nobody has ever seen before.
Our
Bridge
House project is NOW open and seeking £2 donations
to take part in a couple of quizzes.
Today I am going to Stowe National Trust Gardens with a
proposal for our
Doggie Treasure Hunt.
All of these projects are great but not one of them is
going to achieve anything and ALL of them are doomed to
failure if our website does not generate the
traffic
it needs for people to find out about them.
Go to the
OurRebekah website, have a look round then use
your social media friends and followers to spread the
word. Let's start a traffic jam even Mayor Khan would be
proud of. Visit the website before I get to clean
out all the typo's and you can have a right giggle.
