April fool

Well it looks like no-one fell for my April fools joke, ah well will try again next year. Nope no-one for UKIP has ever approached me.

UKIP have asked me to be a green advisor

“Fact is often stranger than fiction”, just a bit of cliche I thought well that was until this morning when I recieved a call.

“Hello, can I speak to Andy Hamilton?” Said a young and rather well spoken voice.

“Yep”. I replied, rather bluntly as I thought it another 8am sales call.
“I have Marta Andreasen on the other line I will just put you through”.
What is this I thought, who on earth is Marta Andreasen.
“Hello Andy, may I call you Andy”.

Ok I won’t transcribe the whole conversation as it could get a little tedious. Apparently, I have caused a bit of a buzz in Westminster after my recent appearance on the West edition of the politics show.
It seems that UKIP want to be “Zietgiest instead of stuffy”, they are looking to appeal to the older allotment grower and the younger well allotment grower. UKIP belive that we are the future.

They are suggesting that I become a kind of high profile sustainability advisor. I shouldn’t really be talking about this on here as I have been advised to keep it low profile but so I have left out some of the more private parts of the conversation.

I told them I would get back to them tomorrow. I mean I could make a real difference if I was an advisor to UKIP, it’s just that I am a card carrying member of the Green Party. The cash will come in handy though.

Perhaps I should just sleep on it.
