I can't believe it's not Africa

Sweep woke up and looked at the clock. It said 1.08 - Sweep thought "Weird! I feel like I've been asleep ages and its only one in the morning!" Then Sweep realised two things. Firstly, it was light outside, and secondly, his head had slipped off the pillow and was hanging down towards the floor. The world was upside down. He tried sitting up a bit and getting a better view, and once he'd turned the world the right way up again, he looked at the clock again. "Ah" he said. "8.01 - time to get up then".

Sweep had a stretch and a scratch, then went into the bathroom for a shower and ... things ... while Auntie Angela put the kettle on. Sweep didn't think it suited her, so she took it off again and used it to make some coffee. The shower and the coffee helped Sweep to wake up a bit, but only a bit.

Auntie Angela woke up Uncle Bill with her special cattle prod that she keeps for the purpose, and called her cubs to get ready. Everyone was to meet by the car in ten minutes! Ooh, thought Sweep, maybe there'll be breakfast!

Once everyone was in the car, they set off down the road to find a McTheme Park for bacon butties and coffee. Sweep was beginning to like these McTheme Parks, because you could see so many interesting sorts of people there. 

This time, the McTheme Park was in. Place called Chelting-ham, which Sweep supposed was the special kind of bacon they used there. The cars in the car park were different too - there weren't any P-reg Citroen Saxos with bean tins on the back, but there was a Bentley with a personalised plate. Uncle Bill explained that they don't allow chavs in Chelting-ham because Prince Charles might see them if they did. He also showed Sweep how the McTheme Park was surrounded not by an Aldi, a CarpetRight and a Heron Foods, but by a Bentley dealership, an Aston Martin Dealership, and for the poor people of Chelting-ham, a BMW dealership. "It's another world" said Uncle Bill. "Blimey!" thought Sweep - "I hadn't realised we'd driven that far! I thought, with it being hot, that we might have reached Africa, but a whole other world! Wow!"

And off they set, for more adventures in the South. Of Mordor.
