Who Will Save Us From This Menace?

Yes, having got stuck in the snow last week, your humble DJ faced a new challenge in trying to get across town while dodging massed battalions of upper middle class women in pashminas, who evidently have decided that instead of getting the presents delivered this year , it’d be be a wizzard wheeze to go out Christmas shopping with the proles and mill about in narrow streets like with a mixture of indignation and amusement saying things like “Margaret, Margaret, I simply must find a cashpoint!” at the pitch of their lungs.

There’s millions of ’em. Personally I blame Joanna Lumley.
