A Definite Slur
In a hysterical access of sales-consciousness, Her Majesty's Stationery Offices, in London and Edinburgh, opened for an hour at half-past mid- night this Thursday morning to sell copies of the Thingummy Report. Is it really as hot as that? I get a picture of the Capitals seething with trembling citizens who can't wait to see if their names have been left out, and I'm inclined to say something snide about neurotic metropoli- tans; but on reflection, I think instead I'll flay the Government for favouritism. What about the workers in Huddersfield and Wick, where every red-blooded Briton over sixteen is also praying secretly that Mandy mentioned him? HMSO should in all fairness have had branch offices staffed throughout the country. Unfair to Ben- becula, that's what it is.
