I have to say I'm deeply impressed by the level of support people are showing round the country for the England women's rugby team during the world cup, what with all those flags being on lampposts and bridges

Just put some washing on and noticed that the machine has a program for underwear. This leaves me with a couple of questions:
1) who owns enough underwear to fill a washing machine; and
2) who, with that amount of underwear, leaves it unwashed long enough to create a full load?

Not sure if I'm missing something here but, if you've had a public inquiry that has made 20 recommendations, and everyone is agreed that implementing them is a good idea, shouldn't you implement them and then review things in a few years time to see if they're working?
