We've been away for a few days in Cornwall.
Overheard while looking in a shop window in St Ives:
Chairman: "I wouldn't mind those knives for the kitchen."
Hay: "I think you'd be better off with the mug."
Overheard in the hotel:
Chairman: "Do you want a towel?"
Hay (in mock shock): "I would never steal hotel towels!"
Chairman: "Sorry - I was being northern again."
We were watching a programme on TV about British country houses. Have you noticed how dukes and earls are getting much younger these days?
After having watched some woman from Harrods showing us how to wrap presents just before Christmas, I'm thinking of setting up an alternative wrapping service for next Christmas. Hay thinks I should call it Ham-Fisted Wrapping.
It struck me that we all know what Clegg's, Milliband's and Cameron's wives look like (they're never out of the limelight), but we never see Kirsten Farage on TV or gracing the celeb pages of the press.
Overheard while listening to a radio item about giving apes human rights.
Chairman: "It would never work - just imagine the effect on the economy - several million unemployed apes claiming benefits."
Hay: "But isn't the readership of the Daily Mail comprised almost entirely of chimps?"
Chairman: "You have a point. Also parliament is stuffed to the gills with the buggers."
