Even in prime central London I'm paying 5quid for a beer and 10 for a cocktail at the moment. Can't even get a bottle peer for that in most places.

Lord Haig? The Duke of Boddingtons? Sir Francis Pimms?

Sir Francis wouldn't be a peer, FYI. Can't be if he's only a sir.

Of course. Certain people needed to be put in their place.

Tony Blair, for starters.

I refuse to read any of the 'articles' on that website as they just take content from all over and re-hash it. They have had to take some pieces down for re-publishing without permission. It really isn't any kind of journalism, or the least bit original.
