Mike, We have a great satire show here, Dead Ringers, and now that you mention it I remember clearly an edition of it in which President Bush stated categoringly that there wood be know climax charge without his personal intertention. I may be wrong, but I think he specifically mentioned the Lampashire coast and Royal Bonkdale in particular. I'm sorry to have consigned something your President said to the back burner.
After all that luvvie duvvie between Jack Straw and Condescension Rice they've now gone and sacked Straw, so we no longer have a direct line to the President apart from President Blare. Come back Julius Caesar, all is forgiven!
