Being as we are in what is known as the 'silly season' it is only logical to accept that we will receive silly articles, written by silly journalists working for silly newspapers, about silly pronouncements from silly politicians.
Witness this in today's Daily Telegraph in respect of repetitive announcements on trains about 'quiet' carriages; reading safety pamphlets and to take our belongings with us when leaving. The fact that at each stop new arrivals need to be acquainted with the 'conditions of travel'; that trains will probably have tourists on board; that not everyone is able to travel by chauffeur-driven car at public expense (I accept that is not the 'Norm' for every politician), seems to have escaped the notice of our transport minister - to which the comment 'Dough' may seem appropriate in view of the minister concerned.......? In any event, if such matters annoy our politicians that much, they can always follow the lead set by Brad Pitt and his family and hire the whole train.

You don't seem to like politicians, WfromW.
JH: Generally, no - those two, most definitely!
As I've stated before, tthe most useless of our ministers must be Hammond whose only job is to implement EU directives.
And good luck to the Anglo-Springbok-Irish cricket team.
k: Why single out Hammond? The job of all ministers is to implement EU directives, is it not?
Your last comment mystifies me......
WfW: You mentioned the cricket in your last paragraph. I was making a point about 5 of the first 7 batsmen in the England team for the previous test having been born in South Africa or Eire.
k: Apols, can be a bit thick now and again. No, scratch that - most of the time...... :)
