It's Come to This...
Notice seen in window of wine merchant in Notting Hill:
'No more than one Member of Parliament in this shop at any given time. -- The Management.'
I had to chuckle when a John Lewis brochure tumbled out of my Sunday papers this morning - advertising a large range of vast LCD TVs. Seemed very suitable.
Well, they've got the wine, the television. What DVDs will they claim and watch on it. Staying in is the new going out as they say. For the MPs, they never had it so good.
Like chuffer I also had a right laugh at the John Lewis catalogue that came with the Sundays`...My son said I should send it to our MP.....who happens to be Shahid Malik!!!!!
Lunchtime with the family ended with a game we all played, called, "On the 1st day of Christmas, my MP claimed from me..." then we all had to take turns to fill in the blanks and work down the remembered list of stuff. Hilarious games. But the conversation that started it turned the air blue!

I saw a sign on the back of a bus yesterday. It was an advert for Barratt Homes. The Headline said “Are you fed up paying someone else’s mortgage?”
Oh, God, that wine merchant's sign is wonderful! I've sent it round.

They've stolen it from yesterday's Times cartoon-Shop window sign:
"Not more than 2 MPS at a time"

New House of Commons motto?
"Never knowingly underclaimed?"
Perhaps underneath should have been :
"No handwritten receipts given"
I suppose it gives the kids and the "hoodies" a breather !
