lahe Hawk is not a great political bird. So when it comes round to party conference season he is more likely than not to be found nodding off in front of the box while some radical young upstart berates the previous generations on where they've been going wrong all these years. Those of you yelling at me from the sidelines: "Wake up, you might learn something!" will be interested in this little gismo sent to me by the Freight Transport Association. No it's not a deodorant stick it is a pop-up alarm clock. The FrA was in Blackpool for the recent Labour Party Conference where it was hosting a fringe meeting on "Lorries in towns", All the MPs and councillors who accepted the invitation were supplied with this .streamlined clock so that they might make the 7.30am breakfast for the 8am meeting. From what I hear of the amount of beverages consumed during the week of tough talking and partying, I fear a foghorn might be more suited to the job than this sleek timepiece.
