Mrs B had been traumatised, but was completely aware of what was an illogical situation. Elevators are by nature, incredibly safe. The sole reason for their popularity is that they are foolproof. There is absolutely 0% chance of them crashing to the bottom of the shaft. And the risks there are, are far fewer than …

Well, well, well … Boris did win; despite all that against him. And, now that he’s installed at No.10, he hasn’t made a fool of himself… yet! Early days, perhaps. But he does seem to be following a strict plan, and has been making a real go of making the best of the hand he’s …
