Chicken eaters of the world!!!!!

I post this story after a student was asked to write a story from a picture of a man holding a chicklet in his hands:-

The picture shows a draft for the new Fine Knoxville Chicken (FKC)  advertisement campaign. The Tennessee based franchising company wants to emphasize on what it is doing right concerning the two main subjects customers associate with the company: It’s dedication in the field of ethical treatment of animals and It’s firm believe, that only the freshest of meat can be the basis for the smooth taste of the fine products it offers.

 

FKC was often criticized in the past for using industrial meat which was produced using cruel and unethical methods. The man depicted shows a protective gesture when holding the chick in his hands, which will imprint the companies caring attitude towards the treatment of animals on the average customers memory. The big smile underlines even more that FKC is happy only when their main ingredients is handled in an ethical an fair way, and so the customers can be happy when dining at a KFC restaurant.

 

The second important message FKC wants the customers to remember is the fact, that the company has high standards when the quality of the raw material it uses in its products is concerned. To differentiate itself from its competitors, the picture suggests, that old and chewy meat will never be used in the production of KFC classics like the Old-fashioned Chick Sticks or the Zumba Burger, only chick filets, hand selected by the CEO himself will make it in there. Again, the big smile shows how glad the customers should be when they learn about this.

 

 

Well done Carsten!!!!

Chestnuts

All you guys and girls get out there in the woods nad collect Chestnuts!!
Don’t forget to prick them with a fork before you roast them – they make a mess when they explode :-(.
If you don’t have an open fire – I cook them on a hot plate – works fine about level 2 for 5 mins each side.
Enjoy

Clevertronic.de – clever money grabbers

Watch out for this company. Their prices are good – their delivery is fine – the goods are as desc ribed. But try to send something back within the allowed time frame and you are stumped.
They refused to accept the return of a smartphone I bought from them – claiming the gods were damaged – and after I gave up trying to get my money (yes I am a weakling and don’t have the time or energy to pursue things through the courts) – they charged me 6.90 euros to get the phone back.

Norfolk

I have just returned from the U.K. whre I spend a few days visiting family in Norfolk.

OK – I admit we had some rain – but Sunday was a precious day of warmth, sunshine and seaside with Fish and Chips 🙂

Those who have not experienced the joy of seaside, sea air and freshly cooked fish and chips should hesitate to condemn – “they know not what they do” as someone quite famous once said.

From Cromer you can just make out a huge windfarm that is being (has been) constructed – some 34 km offshore.  Some 158 turbines will provide enough electricity for every house in Norfolk!!!!

Giime that sea air.

60 years of Queen Elizabeth

The celebrations were in full swing throughout the U.K. today (and I daresay in other places as well).

If you like a bit of “Pomp and Circumstance” then you had to be glued to the BBC today (or ITV for that matter).

Of course – it had to rain a little bit – but then it pi**ed down here didn’t it?

Maybe no posting next week – I am off to visit my mother in Norfolk. (the original one stupid – not Virginia 🙂 )

 

 

Frankfurt Main Station – Platform 104 (S-Bahn

I had the unfortunate expereince of catching a train from this platform on Monday. I had forgotton the stink of sewerage down there.

Now – as scientists have proven – given that smells are particulate – that means that I was breathing in (as was everyone else) someones else’s shit and piss – excuse the French 🙂

When will they fix this problem – I have expereinced it at other S-Bahn Stations – I think Taunus Anlage is one.

Post your reports here!!!!
