When that happens, Dave, don't forget your old pal (my needs are actually quite modest).
Meanwhile, I'm told that 427,000 people emigrated from Britain last year. That's the highest number ever recorded and up 25 per cent on the previous year. I wonder where they all went.
"Basket Case Britain"? Heck, it's been that way for as long as I can remember! Always lurching from one crisis to another. And yet (need I add), hundreds of thousands still flock to our shores. Poor, misguided fools ... or switched on people who know a good deal when they see one?
OK, I may be a bit slow on the uptake, but am I missing something here? Foreigners arriving. Indigenous folk leaving. As I said to a bloke recently who was moaning on about wanting to leave:- OK, let's say this has become an awful country. But what part are
you playing in its recovery?
You know, the continuous moan:- why don't
they do something? Who, exactly? How about "the man in the mirror"!
Just a thought for the New Year.
