So I was out enjoying what could be the last of the summer sunshine (in England that is) in a little town to the west of London called Marlow when I got an e-mail from Dave saying would I mind posting on his blog while he takes some time off. I’m sure he’ll explain all when he gets back: I’m not going to steel his thunder.
But what does Brian of London have to write about Israel I thought?
And then my wife hands a toy to my child and breaks our rule: noisy toys can only be used at other people’s homes. It’s a green and orange rattle with a bell inside. The equivalent of cocaine for a sub-one year old.
There can be no redeeming features about this and by the time I notice, my child is in love and could you take a toy out of the hands of your first born?
It is only later, when we’re feeding him, that we examine the toy more carefully and are delighted to find a big “Made in Israel” stamped on the top of the toy. What a shock: something not made in China. A warm glow filled us: we’re supporting Israel by accident now.
The toy is made by Halilit and you can find them on their Hebrew website too.
So rush out and buy some Israeli toys before the Chinese copy them and send them to Hezbollah via Iran.
[I’m Brian of London, more usually found hosting the Shire Network News podcast. We’re due to have a new show out tomorrow featuring an interview with a rather interesting apostate Muslim cartoonist who’s now drawing cartoons his family don’t really approve of.]
