Cheers BM. Claptrap - yes it was! While every mindless, brainwashed person round here queued up for the flacon with the dragon that contained the pellet with the poison, nobody - not one person clapped, yelled, whooped, or hit pans. It was pleasantly quiet. Most days I was out putting the birds away at that time (likely soon not to be an issue when culling time starts with the scientists birdyfloo that doesn't exist) and I listened. I was very pleased! It was something that made me feel very uncomfortable and I saw people as performing seals. Then of course the dancing started - and people thought it was also wonderful how hard they were working but work time spent choreographing and practicing. Yeah, really rushed off their feet, with most of the wards depleted of beds. Made me angry. But Benny Hill (the Ernie character was based on a guy near here by the way) was so funny - Bob Todd being his usual daft self and Henry McGee the straight man. I love it when they all giggle and try and control themselves. Thanks for the memory - this lot in power - and the has beens - are all sirry iriots!

Maybe the clap happy Dutch national is still holding a grudge against Great Britain after all these centuries and trying to drive everyone batty. Remember the Dutch-British wars?
