    No...they did what they intended in the way they intended it, just the political climate changed and what was formerly "good and proper" fell back into the morass of "subterfuge and deceit" - where it should never have left.

    Unfortunately this means you now owe us £5740 rather than £7147".

    I ALMOST feel bad for them.

    Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be able to claim a bonus at the end of the year as is the fate of bankers.

    Shark costume went down. Lots of people wanting to compliment me on it and lots wanting their photo taken with it, all of them were relieved of some money. Was warm in it though.

    Need aTime Out or guide to London to work out what I want to see on Friday and at the weekend apart from the poppies at the Tower of London.

    If you'd went topless like Spicy suggested, then you wouldn't have had that problem. She knows, you know... ;)
