JRT,

I do, indeed, offer my apology for thinking you would compromise my safety with slipshod home-made 'equipment'. However, C51 has done Olga a grave dis-service . She had fully intended to corner the market in alligator skin luggage and had spent much time fattening up those fearsome reptiles ready for processing. They are now very upset and are refusing to co-operate with her plans. She is currently scouring the base looking for C51 and brandishing a wicked looking skinning implement.

God forbid that C51 should spend the rest of his earthly existence as an enclosure for various items of clothing and travelling from place to place covered in destination labels.

Things were marginally better under the Tories and even better under the preceding Labour term and so on. Successive governments are incapable of improving the situation which continues to deteriorate in all directions. People have a tendency to vote on promises as well as being spurred by past disappointments. I will not be voting for Labour, Tory or Lib-Dem. The perpetuation of tedious failure will happen anyway and further degeneration is assured. Maybe I'll go for the Green Party or the late Screaming Lord Sutch's Monster Raving Loony Party.
