    I think you started it!

    If my memory serves me right, your original post contains the words "Stampede" and "Race". Both terms are strongly associated with horses.

    Which reminds me that the cost of stabling a horse anywhere in the Home Counties is becoming crippling don't you think, not to mention the price of hay......

    If you don't want to get shot, don't be where riots are happening.
    So what if I'm selling newspapers in the street when the riot arrives?

    This was the approach during the riots in Bangkok two years ago. Noone gave a damn.
    Never any shortage of people who don't give a damn. Perhaps we should just make that government policy. Cameron's reply to every question at PMQs - "I'm all right, so why should I give a monkey's" - hear hear, loud cheers from the whole House.
    "It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis
