The world just got smaller



To further underline my total hypocrisy when I start raging against the evil capitalist system here is an example to show my evil credentials as a fully paid up member of the capitalist club and my blatant disregard for the environment in the pursuit of profit.

I am awaiting a shipment of goods from China and am having them air-freighted over using FedEx, on line tracking reveals their crazy journey:

A nice little van picks it up from the factory in JIAXING CN



The van drives to the airport and it gets put on a dirty great plane SHANGHAI CN

The dirty great plane flies over the Pacific Ocean and lands in MEMPHIS, TN



In Memphis it then gets put on another dirty great plane and flies to NEWARK, NJ

From New Jersey it goes on yet another dirty great plane and flies over the Atlantic Ocean and lands in STANSTED GB



It is currently resting in customs awaiting clearance

So what you say?

Well while the package is resting in customs I have just sold part of the consignment, destination - Tokyo...

So when it arrives here FedEx will pick it up and drive it back to Stanstead to do the journey again in reverse.



That is me, capitalist pig with no regard for the environment in the pursuit of the evil profit. I also rage against the machine when it suits - hypocrite of the highest order :)

  2. Wolfie,

    I can only aspire to be a capitalist pig, I'm not even a piglet.

    I have to try real hard to get those little luxeries in life, the real porkers don't even notice these things, they are too busy living to the excess.

    I agree POWER to the People.

    The pigs are happy with this as it is a diversion for us whilst they take us for just a few more quid
