Peter Rhodes on holidays, posters and standing up for Auntie NHS
Why are holidays never as good as you hoped? That joyless Eeyore of the Mail on Sunday, Liz Jones, offers this bleak assessment: “The worst aspect of going on holiday is that I always take myself along.”
The best election posters are the simplest: that unforgettable, endless line of unemployed Brits (“Labour isn't working”) or the equally long NHS line with Labour's anti-Tory caption: “The doctor can't see you now.” Here's a prediction. Come the next general election the Conservative Party poster attacking Labour's policy on migration will have one very simple image. An open door.
A lady from the NHS rang to invite me for a flu jab a few days later at 12.32 pm.
“You mean 12.30pm?” I suggested.
“No, 12.32pm,” she insisted.
