the other day my path was crossed by an open wagon piled high with old mannaquins, a higgledy piggledy mixture of arms, legs, trunks, bodies and at the bottom lone heads shouting up "Are we there yet?" Of course I followed on and when stationery at nearby lights their chatty voices were clear. Not a single one thought the Tories would win the general election. Says something when Michael Howard can't even convince dummies! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Reminded me of possibly the greatest ever Spitting Image sketch. Margaret Thatcher is in the cabinet office at No 10 surrounded by her ministers. A waiter comes in takes her order then asks "And the vegetables?" Balefully Thatcher looks over her menu and replies "They'll have the same as me."
Priceless.
