Piracy on the High Seas, Trouble in Congo, Credit Crunch and the Big Question is:

[faustus]

Why have Brown and Cameron yet to comment on John Sargeant's shock resignation?

In response to the crunch, I partook in M&S's 24 hour 20% off sale which the BBC advertised covered on yesterday's bulletins (although not Debenham's 25% sale - other department stores are available). I didn't buy a jacket I've been admiring - I can't justify it even at 80% cost - but I did buy a dressing gown (which I suspect really needs a hood). I figured that the one I use was bought in 1988.



What if we live to be fifty
And help all the weak and oppressed
We'll cancel their debts & no-one will expect us
To work any harder for less
We'll spend our way out of recession
The West will invest in the East
So hordes of the poor never swarm at our door
Demanding a share of the feast

I have a dressing gown I bought in 1992, and I don't want another one!

I have been noticing places where the seams are fraying, and I am deeply distressed, because I like this one, and there's not another of the stores where I got it anywhere near. The whole chain may have closed, I'm not sure.

Of course, I also have a thick, fluffy white one I bought a year ago, but I never wear it. It's so white it would be covered with grey and black cat hair in two seconds.
