Link to Mrs Angry's 'Broken Barnet' |
"The auditors came to town ... At one point, Tory councillor Brian Schama was not ready for the meeting to move on.
"Mrs Angry rather likes Councillor Schama: partly because he always grins at her in an twinkling, Tory-amused way at meetings, and partly because he is old-school gentleman Tory, and not a boorish oaf, like most of the Conservative Barnet councillors. Call Mrs Angry a snob, but she likes her class enemies to be well-mannered, and know which knife to use at table.

"... Sitting behind Ms Pam Wharfe was a large grey elephant, rearing up on its hind-legs, and reducing Mr Paul Hughes to a frantic display of pen-waggling. As an auditor of some experience, Mrs Angry can tell you that this is code for:
"Help me - I do not want to be here, I wish I was somewhere else, and I wish I had become a train driver, instead of an auditor."
you and your flipping hyphens ... leave my punctuation alone you grammatical vandal!
