The outgoing Labour Government's "I'm afraid there's no money left"
mindset, you mean?


So how's this working then - do you have a leased line between
Millbank and Cowley Street yet?

(I merely jest ;-)

I'm not sure where you were referring to by "Millbank". I was there (No.4)
today but not for anything you were thinking of, I'm sure.


No, not No. 4, the home of the hacks and the collapsed atrium - I
refer to 30 Millbank, aka the Tower formerly inhabited by the rose-
tinted nouveau prole party, but now home to the legion of landed
gentry, with whom I understand your permissive posse presently have an
arrangement of some sort... ;-)

I know nothing of this. You shouldn't believe all you read in the press,
as they say...


Crossed wires here, or rather crossed leased lines - I didn't read it
in the press, I made it up! A gentle bit of joshing, that's all, for
in an earlier post you appeared to be toeing the party line! ;-)
(That's not to say that I think the piggy bank is full, not at all!)
