I used to drink it 40 years ago when it was brewed in Rutland. I've just checked and the brand is now owned by Greene King, and brewed in Bury St Eds. Which is better than InBev or Molson Coors, I guess.

This is because they're broadcasting the movie with the cinema soundtrack, for people with home cinema systems in soundproof bunkers, and forgetting the majority watching TV rather than trying to emulate a night at the movies. Some TVs do have a sound mode that corrects this.

It appears that Lucy's distrust of different coloured people stems from her assuming that they suffer from the same

I understood that the reason why Reform didn't get any peerages was because,having sent off his tetchy demand for an allocation, Nigel didn't avail himself of the simple process for nominating someone. As always, the question us, 'too lazy or too stupid?'

You're missing the point. In the 20th century membership if the freemason was a prerequisite of carer success in the Met and other forces. Other old boys networks may exist, but they don't have police only lodges where members' primary loyalty was to the lodge, not the force or the rule of law.
