Busman’s Holiday
‘ENTERPRISING truck drivers, the various uses of a pint glass, vomit in the street and sitting on our fat arses these are a few of our favourite things.

They are the elements of British life that we who are about to pack up and leave will need to take with us if we are to recreate New Britannia on the undulating ground of the Russian Steppes.
We are going on an extended summer holiday. Therell be no more worries about immigrants taking our jobs and eating our children, since theyll all be here and well all be there.
Sadly, however, some of us cannot make it. A few of us will have to stay behind, acting as greeters to help the new arrivals settle in.
One of these refuseniks is Cliff Richard. Although he will be terribly missed, Carol Barton will be periodically popping back to old Blighty to see hows hes getting along.
To date, the Mail reports, Carol has spent around £40,000 travelling the world to see Cliff perform.
I work hard, says Carol, a founder member of the Cliffettes. I dont drink or smoke. Going to see Cliff is one of the pleasures of my life.
His voice is like fine wine – it gets better with age, says Carol of her idol. He is lovely he has real charm and nothings too much trouble.
We can only agree, and heartily thank Cliff for agreeing to remain behind while the rest of us hop aboard the No. 63 bus to Bratislava and flee for our lives.’
