When out and about, take an extra layer - you can always take a jersey off; it's hard to put it on if you don't have one.

Oops. Gin and rhubarb?

No - when reminded it rang true. And it wasn't the point of the story anyway.

Never trust a man In a Jersey and Cordroy trousers who knocks on your door..... He'll be a Lib Dem, a frightful bore and want to talk to you about PR for hours until you lose the will to live.
