Q&A: The Strait of Hormuz

Q: What is The Strait of Hormuz?
A: I don't know yet. I haven't had time to look it up.

Q: Where is it located?
A: Again, I haven't found that out yet but I'll probably have some time next week to do some research so hopefully I'll have more information then.

Q: How many ships usually pass through it per annum?
A: Hard to say. Probably a few.

Q: What happens to the global economy if ships are unable to sail through it for weeks or months??
A: Not too sure. 

Q: Is there an alternative shipping route that could be used?
A: Ok, I definitely made a mistake doing this Q&A before I had a chance to research the subject. I could ask my dad, I guess. He might know. Hang on.

Ok, I asked my dad and he doesn't know either. He's useless at stuff like this.

Q: Is this worse than the oil crisis of the 1970s?
A: Hard to compare the two because I don’t know anything about either.

Okay, the Strait of Hormuz is in the news so just wanted to jump on quickly and do a Q&A about it. Hopefully this will answer some of the questions people are asking and maybe dispel some of the myths

WRAP a potato in silver foil and
leave it in your house just in
case your home catches fire and
burns down. If the worst does
happen, you will at least have a
baked potato to look forward to.

What an amazing experience to be in the Bake Off tent and go eye to eye with Hollywood and make him eat my wares. All for stand up to cancer! Apparently they filmed it too. To find out more about Stand Up To Cancer and how you can donate, visit su2c.org.uk. On TV soon!

BBC TV Centre Behind The Scenes Item on Blue Peter 4th November 1974. Featuring EMI 2001 cameras YouTube video by jonno4316

In 1974, Blue Peter revealed the inner workings of Studio 1 at BBC Television Centre. This sort of thing always fascinated me as a child. Years later, for work reasons, I was lucky enough to visit that building from time to time. It was always such a thrill.

I WISH airline pilots would
just fly their planes without
showing off and doing a fucking
wheelie every time they take off.
What a bunch of one-trick ponies.
