Day:268, Words:268

The autumn sunshine continued against a busy day for many. Those who work for the council, which is most people in Øksfjord, are required to go through the biannual pay negotiations. It is an odd system where teachers and nurses with identical qualifications can receive very different wages, depending on which council they belong to. It all depends on what sort of funds are available, the skill of the negotiator and the thriftiness of those holding the big sack of money. In a country where the issue of equality amongst gender, race and class is one of the most important and indeed widely recognised as being superior to other western nations, it seems odd that pay differential can be attributed to a conflict of personalities.

It was a busy weekend for the local police as Alta turned feral. The following information may shock some readers.

A caravan was stolen on Saturday afternoon in Alta and has not been sighted since.

A man in his 40s was caught by police without a driving licence.

A green bicycle was stolen from a 14 year old yesterday.

A drunk and noisy guest at a local bar was collected by police at 2am on Sunday morning and driven home.

At another bar, a young man was trying to enter the establishment with false identification.

A party was visited by police at 1.30am after a complaint regarding loud music. The party was stopped. Apparently they simple moved venues as three hours later, police returned as a result of more loud music. The party had turned wild and was promptly shut down.

It's Armageddon!!
