This afternoon in Herne Hill I saw a girl walking along with her dog, preening at her reflection in the shop windows as the dog defecated several times behind her. Words were had.

Duvets will once again be quilts (or, as they're continental, possibly replaced with blankets). Creme fraiche will disappear without trace, along with petit filou. Baguettes will be French sticks. Cafes, bistros, brasseries and restaurants will become coffee houses, grills and dining rooms. Cappuccinos will be replaced by Camp coffee essence and boiled milk, and as a result the obesity epidemic will resolve itself in 18 months. Aubergines will be eggplants. Rocket will disappear from sandwiches. ...and all sold in pints, pounds and ounces.

I guess all tax treaties will be up for renegotiation once the next PM flicks the Brexit switch. Though if it's still a Tory they'll probably continue to support loopholes for the rich.

Also difficult to quantify at this stage if the fall is in asking or actual price. A fall in asking prices may just mean they thought it was worth a try.

Agreed on that point. Small to mid cap are probably a good reference point.

Thanks, Otta. Took a national crisis to get me back in the Lounge. Now waiting for someone to tell me off for trivialising child abuse...

You're right that at the top they're multinationals, but they're all subject to UK law. They're classified by market cap(italisation), which is the number of shares x current market value per share, so in that sense it's kind of a barometer of investor confidence in UK business, if that makes sense.

At least we know he's not a paedophile. I'm assuming it's a he.

The Standard's front page headline is about property prices falling. It's at too high a level to bother most of us right now but presumably is expected to mark the turning of the tide. That said, earlier this week a commentator, can't remember who, said they've been falling for 18 months already. I'm all for it, but after years of economic policies to keep the bubble growing it may hurt a lot of people.

I'm relying on Dead Ringers to explain this in terms I can understand.

Um, animals don't have children, as those are baby humans... Not that it matters much I suppose.

They shouldn't be waiting for broadcast time. This is what social media's for.

Strangely, the 'women ... breeding' comment sounds more offensive to me than the original one. Women are not animals: we have children.

It's so crazy, convoluted and Machiavellian it might even get young people interested in politics again.

According to the news, Gove is now under pressure from govt ministers to withdraw to give Theresa May a clear field.

I think it's a factor, yes, (one of many, obviously) just as it is in any other job where admin, paperwork or process is cited as the problem. The rest of your post kind of bears that out I think.

Wow. Speechless.

Crikey, 'sexual predator' is going it a bit. Slightly sexist, maybe, but surely a week to try to keep a sense of perspective and ration the outrage?

Don't recall her challenging that, though I may be wrong. On the other hand, as Home Sec she bears much of the responsibility for mismanagement of migration, one of the major concerns for the majority who did vote Brexit. Urgh.

If Theresa May was anti-Brexit and yet is the right fit to run for PM, how does the same argument rule Osborne out? Is it down to individual conscience (hoping they each have one of those)? Confusing.

Rendel, appreciate your PoV and I'm sure it varies from one individual to another (size of role, ability to organise workload etc) but mine's also based on what I see going on around me. I'd cite some more specific examples but don't want to make anyone recognisable.

And don't forget Boris's tendency to self-sabotage. I think he's let himself be out-manoeuvred at the final fence by someone with a colder mind. He should know that back-stabbing is the Tory way.

No need, *Bob*, men aren't defined culturally by fatherhood (mention women to any politician, Theresa May included, and what they'll talk about is childcare) and their bodies don't change when children are born, lucky things. They don't age well from 40 on, though, so maybe one for men who've lost their hair but are still fanciable - BILF?
