Britain's Have Talent

Saturday May 30

Jayne and I took the bus to Shroubrough. We had to wait about an hour for the bus. The ride cost 1.70 pounds. It was nice getting on a bus where you don’t have to hold onto dear life. All the buses, by the way, don’t emit the pollution as Ecuadorian buses. This, of course, I already knew.
When we got to town we went into a lot of store. We thought we would be able to buy a digital camera there. There was only one shop that sold digital cameras but they didn’t sell the make that I wanted (Sony). I want to stick to the same kind as I have a battery that the thieves didn’t take.

It looks like we will have to wait until Monday and get it at Kinniminster. We stopped to have fish ‘n chips at a pub.

We didn’t have to wait long before our bus came, which was good.

We had a very nice day.

Britain’s Have Talent

In the evening we watched the finals Britain’s Have Talent. It was a good show. The whole world was probably watching or will read about it in the newspapers tomorrow. The winner was a dancing group called Diversity, with the runner-up being Susan Boyle who has an opera voice.
We had watched the semi-finals this week as it was on just about every day.

The dance group was very good but it’s not the dance routine that you would see of years ago. It was more fast movement accompanying to music.

The sad thing was that this group is not British by race as they all looked like mulattos. While Susan Boyle is British (being from Scotland). The show should be called Foreigner’s Have Talent, as I would say 4 or maybe 5 of the 10 people/groups who performed tonight were not Anglo-Saxons.

Such is the mind-set of the world today.

As for making a career with their talent, the dance group would not be able to do so as they had one act that lasted 2 minutes and it took all their energy to do it. While the singer could perform a operas and other events and do more than sing one song.

The winner will get 100,000 pounds (the group of about 10 will have to divide that money). Then they will perform in front of the Queen and the Royal Family. It is called something like The Royal Variety Act.

Of the other finalists where are not British is a group of dancers called Flawless. Then there was a father and son act that are Greek (however on the father’s chest is a tattoo of the outline of Cyprus. Maybe we’ll see them perform there). One guy who played the clarinet is mulatto. Another kid l saw that his mother is black (though he had light skin).

Well, we see Britain changing.
