Funny that seems the ones I got from the loony left, must have gone to the same finishing school as yours Rindi

Is that a euphemism for something rude, that I haven't heard of?

Is it similar to what that Conservative politican did, strangling himself with a ladies stocking, and an orange?

I'm just going upstairs to nip myself with the feather duster?

I've led a very sheltered life.

Quite obviously, whilst Peter was bringing up his family

See, we live and learn.

You inform us Peter Britcliffe worked in London in the past, as well as raising his family.

We live and learn.

Though you'd have thought he might have picked up on where was good value to eat in London, before recently ignoring the recommendations of an independent review body, and leading the vote to increase the expenses allowance for food on jollies, whilst away from Hyndburn.

When he worked down there, did he fly back up here too, as I never saw him on the train?

It was eighteen years ago, it was immaterial train, plane, were allowed about 4 travel warrants a year, there was no restriction on MPs travel warrants, usage in the course of their work

No doubt if he'd have seen you on the train he'd have hidden anyway

Like I said, we live and learn.

I was living there myself at that time, and never knew he resided, and worked there then.

I would have taken him for lunch, if I'd known, and shown him the high life. Though I probably wouldn't have been able to wangle a dinner invitation with Thatch, upstairs in a private dining room at the Carlton Club.

Even I have my limitations.

I'm sure Peter would have obliged in that department Rindi

Cash I can honestly say that even if JKH had still been an MP today it wouldn't have made any difference what so ever, Ken has never done a dishonest thing in his life, that is why he is so well respected, in fact the satirical magazine Private Eye once stated that the Honourable Member for Hyndburn Ken Hargreaves was the only MP they could not find the slightest piece of dirt on, no matter how hard they tried, they even
dubbed him "The Oldest Altar Boy In Town"
Ken has spent his life working for others, he is the most selfless person I have ever met and I'm proud to call him a true friend and even at 71 he still fills his days with charity work for numerous organisations in Hyndburn

There's only stairs at the Carlton Club.

They wouldn't have been able to offer him a job as a lift boy.
