Train Fare Increase 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Passengers face above-inflation price hikes for rail tickets from January, train companies have announced.
Unregulated fares, which companies are able to set themselves and cover tickets such as cheap day returns, will increase by between 3% and 7%.
The Association of Train
Operating Companies said the money was needed to pay for ongoing service improvements.
Passenger groups have criticised the price increases and said rail users are already paying high fares.
Richest 2% own 'half the wealth' 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The richest 2% of adults in the world own more than half of all household wealth, according to a new study by a United Nations research institute.
The report, from the World Institute for Development Economics Research at the UN University, says that the poorer half of the world's population own barely 1% of global wealth.
There have of course been many studies of worldwide inequality.
But what is new about this report, the authors say, is its coverage.

Yet another dig at the noble art of Estate Agency. If there's any Estate Agents out there, that find these drawings offensive - great!
Thanks to RAVE from the house price crash forum for the caption.
Wayne Rooney Press Conferance 1970-01-01 00:59:59
I'm no fan of Football or the World Cup, but it's almost unavoidable in the UK. Even watched most of the game on Sunday! Getting sucked into it.
Saw a news clip last night, with someone called WayneRooney
saying he's not reading into the situation. I've no idea what he was talking about - but it gave me an evil idea. Five minutes with Google image search and here's the result....

Chocolate used to ward off robber! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chocolate. That lovely substance that melts people into cavity infested junkies. On Friday we had news that Cadbury's had added Salmonella to some of their chocolate bars. Now we have a shop keeper using a box of Topic Bars to ward off an axe wielding robber
! Whatever next? Are we going to find out that North Korea isn't really testing a nuclear missile, it's really a new secret recipe for Kinda Surprise? Or maybe Mr Hussein didn't have WMD's, but had thousands of KitKats hidden under the desert? Whatever happens, watch this space. Chocolate is clearly the new Rock 'n' Roll.
Is there such a thing as the British Chocolate Council? Maybe it's all designed to encourage chocolate to be in the news more - and make us eat more. My 250g Dairy Milk is still sitting in the fridge. The reason I haven't eaten it? Nothing to do with Salmonella. I haven't eaten it because I forgot it was there. So BCC (if you exist) it's not working. This will be the last chocolate based cartoon for the Read more:Chocolate
Cadbury's Samonella 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I knew Cadbury
's had lost the plot when they started to print on their chocolate bars, 'More To Share'. Clearly to anyone who cares about chocolate, sharing is emotionally difficult and just plain wrong. After Fridays news that Cadbury are now including very small amounts of Salmonella in their chocolate, maybe sharing wouldn't be such a selfless thing to do anymore. Cadburys knew of this problem in January, and yet did nothing about it. I suspect they were acting on advice from MI5, or similar, as everyone knows, chocolate is the drug of choice for many. I should think a lack of chocolate, could have national security implications! Will I continue to eat Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate? Well I eat eggs, and that has far more risk of Samonella contamination then any bar of chocolate could ever have. So as long as I eat eggs (don't know if Cadbury Cream Eggs have a higher risk?) then I shall continue to eat chocolate. In fact I just might eat some right NOW!
Stolen Phone Bill - £600,000 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The British Foreign Office has had to pay a phone bill of £600,000 from two satellitee phones which were stolen in Iraq. It took officials 18 months to have the phones disconnected, and the bill from calling one south pacific number came to £289,000. These calls were made using a £5.95 per minute number. It's good to talk - especially if the British Government is paying for the calls.
Speaking Clock is Seventy 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The SpeakingClock
, which tells the time to thousands of UK callers each day, is celebrating its 70th birthday. The service, which is available on dialling the number 123, was founded in 1936 and went nationwide in 1942. The accuracy of the time given has improved from within one-tenth of a second to within five-thousands of a second - or five milliseconds. BT says the clock itself is "the size of a small suitcase", compared with the first clock which was about 8ft long. In all, 70 million calls every year are made to the service.This cartoon was quick and simple.In the style of newspaper funnies. No colour, little hatching. Thanks to Caliope once again for the inspiration (you see I do read your posts).

M&S Y-Fronts 1970-01-01 00:59:59
Click To Enlarge
Told you I'd update today. This one is inspired by those snobby adverts on British TV at the moment. It's not just posh food - it's M&S posh food. Still it seems to be working for Marks & Spencer. Sales of their posh food has gone up since the adverts began. Maybe now the sales of M&S Y-fronts will skyrocket too. Wonder if they'll give me a slice of the profits? Before you ask - no I don't wear Y-Fronts, not since 1982 anyway. 1982 was the Great British Y-Front amnesty for all you non British visitors. If anyone from Marks & Spencers is reading this - the NO, I don't want any free Y-Fronts.
I know the weather is really hot, and I won't get many visitors during the heat-wave - but I think it's still worth updating. If you are indoors, hiding from the heat - then please remember to look at the archives. There is some gems amongst all the dross.
Satnav Challenges The Knowledge 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Black cab drivers, with their famed Knowledge
of London's streets, have traditionally had the edge over their minicab rivals.But the increasing use of sat-nav systems has led minicab drivers to claim they are almost as efficient.The Knowledge, which normally takes three or four years' study to attain, involves remembering every street within six miles of Charing Cross.While few minicab drivers would challenge the cabbies' pre-eminence in central London, they say sat-nav has put them on a level playing field outside Knowledge territory in the suburbs.

CSA scrapped - Tagging Introduced 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The UK Government annouces that the hated Child Support Agency (CSA) is to be abolished, and replaced with suspension of passports, curfews, and possible tagging for absent parents. CSA staff stage a walk out in protest. Fathers for Justice welcome the move (think Batman on Buck Palace). The tagging element has been played down since first mentioned, but then my lovely cartoon wouldn't work. How the hell do I draw a curfew?

Chav Suits For All Occasions 1970-01-01 00:59:59
It's been a while since I did a Chav Cartoon, and they seem very popular. So here we are again. A slight variation on a previous theme. Thought I'd do this one in Colour, as the blog was looking a little dull without colour. Let me know what you think.
For those foriegn visitors, a Chav is also known as a Scallie, Townie, Ned, Pikey, Trash etc.

Chav Wedding 1970-01-01 00:59:59
Another fresh 'toon here. Done shortly after the Chav Pets. Whatever next?
I was going to have this one sponsored by Elizabeth Duke (Argos) but thought better of it. There's some nice stuff in Argos, with their laminated book of dreams. Laminated to catch the tears of joy. (Bill Bailey).
