    Well, judging by the execrable standard of their Jubilee coverage, I think we have to take the word "work" at its loosest possible translation.


    I notice that they've had to wheel out Hu Edwards today because of all the flak they've been getting.

    In the portoloos with their hour long queues or in front of your residence. (Just hope you don't have a basement level floor.)

    I live about 2 miles down the road. But I hate big crowds, and most pop, so gave it a miss.

    Also what if anyone in those crowds needs to, you know, "go"? Specifically, where would they go?
