We had been there for what must have been four hours, people who had arrived after us were being seen to first. We didn't think this was fair. We were still irate.

| The Brown Envelope Saga | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It started like a regular Wednesday. We went to school like usual and there was an assembly. Assembly lady told us that if we havn't collected our GCSE certificates yet she would destroy them, so at the first possible oppurtunity Dan went to collect his... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We were standing outside the door (seen above) for many many minutes. Rob got a little peckish (left and up a bit) so began eating a fruit Club and then Harris and Nick popped up (less left and up a bit). Harris had some baby food which was labelled 'Banana and Cream Fool'. It was real baby food too. More people joined us at the door and we began to get irate (left). We had been there for what must have been four hours, people who had arrived after us were being seen to first. We didn't think this was fair. We were still irate. |

| Not a lot happened for a while. We sat around being irate as hours became days and days became weeks. Eventually the door opened and Dan was beckoned inside. 'Can I have some qualifications please?' he said. 'OK, sign here' said GCSE certificate lady. Dan was something in the region of 6 months late collecting these certificates but finally he had some qualifications. This was cause for celelbration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Next, we hopped on a bus and high-tailed it to the Kingfisher Centre because it is full of nice people and more importantly, food. On the bus some mean people spat on the bus driver. This obviously made him angry so we didn't dare try to photograph him. Above are the bus station escalators. The right hand ones don't work even though they are brand new. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The first shop we passed that wasn't busy was Extreme Gifts. We don't like this shop so we beckoned the staff outside and asked them to pose with Dan's brown envelope. A nice man stepped up to the challenge and stood proudly in his store, holding the envelope aloft. Extreme Gifts: Nice staff, crap gifts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Armed with a digital camera we hit the streets. Our main aim was to meet nice people and spread the word that Mr Daniel Hills had finally recieved some semi-useful qualifications. Our first stop was at this bent pole. The council seem to be installing these bent poles all over the land although anyone is yet to see one with something atop it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We continued on our way, and for those of you wisened to Redditch, you should know that Farmfoods is practically next door to EG. Here we can see the GCSE envelope in a poultry freezer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The saga continues... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
