Oh … I had the radio on, earlier: and heard current, Labour, Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, tell that he’s “ … initiated a process.”

Rather than “… started something.”

There’s possibly other examples in that interview.

And, although I can’t find any right now?

There’s possibly plenty of Conservative equivalents: point them out to me, when you find them!

The Who had a point, in “Won’t Get Fooled, Again”:

“… the parting on the left

Is now parting on the right.”

A song …

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        The same site does eye surgery and obstetrics, Olga?   Not at the same time, I hope!   And Sant Pau’s looks incredible.   Some of the architecture looks similar to the now closed Warley Hospital: but a lot lighter.   Warley could have done with a similar light tone: it was the main psychiatric hospital for this part of Essex, and parts were quite dingy.

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I’m saying nothing about lawyers, Debbi!   (Did I mention a Star Wars series called The Acolyte?   It’s interestingly twisty.)

§        It’s spent Bicester: but pronounced bister.
