I wasn't talking about threads. I was talking about the wall to wall coverage on Radio and TV.

I will be watching This Week tonight though. I never miss it - and don't usually use much fast forward either.

And we've got years more of Brexit. Should it be hard? Should it be soft? Should it be scrambled?

But enough of me. What about you? Which debates are you sick to the back teeth of?
All of the above Gravitas, plus the hourly reports of Trumps progress, he gets more coverage than Theresa May.......I'm rapidly losing the will to live......

What happened to the happy care free days, when we could enjoy life without all the pressures ? I think we may have forgotten how to. do that .
The good old days, eh, when the cold war documentaries tell us most people were expecting nuclear war at any moment.

Funnily enough, I can't remember anyone ever talking about it, in the school or the pub.
