He's still waiting for the chair to be delivered.

If he has so much difficulty with a chai, how's he going to get that essential piece of villain kit, a monorail working?

[Churchill]

Could well be.

Do you think he sits in there in a big leather chair stroking a white squirrel?

He's still waiting for the chair to be delivered.

Nope, It's Dr Alexei's Evil Lair!

One of the biggest UK victims of European policy.
What was once one of the biggest fishing ports and fleets in the UK destroyed by fishing quotas and allowing other EU members to fish traditional waters.
On the back of that the fish processing plants have similarly diminished.

Stitched up like a kipper they were.

[original PM]

I have no idea where they got that picture for Wigan and Warrington - it is obviously of fiddlers ferry but they have made it look like something out of a near future dreary holocaust type movie.
