The was an interesting piece in the LA Times a while back, about the infighting in UK government departments about the cutbacks made by the Tory's

The Government in power is the Coalition, not the Conservatives. The cutbacks are made by the Coalition.

Look Batty, do read what i had to say, do not cherry pick certain parts of my quote to advance your argument, and DO add to your truncation of my quote................ 'For the average Joe'.

You are technically correct here, but to most people the games do not start until after the parade is over, OK?

You are technically correct here

So I was right all along then.... Thought so.

What's an average Joe?
It appears that you're the one arguing - nobody else.
Peace and respect.

Not travelling into central London if you can avoid it as well would be a good one..
