Also the ubiquitous 25pdr was actually 88mm, don't you dare start me off
about the European Parliament, Nigel Hay. . . . . . . . . .

I had a Lib Dem canvasser around tonight and if it wasn't for being late and
half in my overalls for another happy evening grimbling about upside down in
the filthy bowels of a Stalwart punt, I'd have engaged him in a private
ownership HMV policy discussion, perhaps better wait for the squeaky-clean,
besuited, actual candidates, much more fun.

Oh, for the benefit of our American chums, we are in the midst of a General
Election to decide the flavour of the next Government, something with far
less razzamatazz and no court wranglings over here.
