Grumpier Old Men

Just make replicas to display in the museum and get rid of the originals back to where they came from.

Saves a fortune in insurance and it's only stupid pride that's keeping them here.

Apparently Sunak's grandfather was a deckchair attendant for the White Star Line back in 1912.

Isn't there a statue of Maggie somewhere he could call on?

That's democracy for you.

What would you rather have happened? A minority victory which disenfranchises the majority?

........... Pubs and bars have always asked for ID when selling alcohol to younger people Not when I was a lad. Back then, Police had just started to stop people who they suspected of drink driving.
