Michael Chapman I blame David Cameron
Joanne Phillips If they didn’t prepare us we’d moan, if they get it right and it does damage we’ll moan, if it comes to nothing we’ll moan they got it wrong.
Martin Adil-Smith … ummm, isn’t this how Dad’s Army began?
Davey Pipe Watch out for that big arrow as well.
Kevin Phillips I wonder if they will get Michael Fish out of retirement to do the weather forecast?
