@YesterdaysBrit1 Agree.
I recall a location-shot car chase in the P.Sellers’ ‘vehicle’ “Wrong arm of the law” featured a Bond-y Aston roaring along streets lined with bangers like these.
The effect of a genuinely flash motor against such a backdrop was astonishing.
Now all cars look the same.
@YesterdaysBrit1 Patient: “Doctor, doctor - I feel like I’m on ITV on a Saturday afternoon in the 1970ies”
Doctor: “How long have you been wrestling with this problem ?”
@NeilRos93033708 @michaelwhite Or, as Oscar Wilde rather neatly put it:
“By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.”
@YesterdaysBrit1 Something like that ….
We got a Colston dishwasher that way (accumulated tomato soup can wrappers).
The dishwater had a more reliable, more efficient power unit than the Imp…. that’s for sure !
Gordon Brown used to hurl newspapers, pens, & coke cans at aides. Had a habit of abruptly leaving meetings in the middle of officials speaking. Staff were afraid of him since he was always shouting at people.
That definition of bullying has been softened over the past 13 years.
@Telegraph@DominicRaab Tony Blair’s degrading & dumbing down of the Lord Chancellorship to the snivelly, reduced “Justice Secretary” role paved the way for frightful inadequates like Grayling, Truss and latterly unpleasant law-jockey, Raab getting to strutt their stuff:none would be proper LC material.
@CoeliacInExile @michaelwhite Things have regrettably got a lot more “common” since those days.
Too many politicians today have to assemble their own furniture.
