The penny drops

So, why Chloe Smith? Why is a 27-year-old accountant suddenly an MP?
Then it dawned on me: newsreaders. That's what they are today.
Doesn't mean they're stupid (Chloe got her first class honours) or unskilful (the swan above, the paddling feet below); but it's a different skill set, and a completely different function.
Can't remember when we were asked about this change of job description, though.

    Well spotted.

    Incidentally, Sackers, are you aware that today's the last day of Mani in the Shed's Silly Week? Will you put something up?

    I did, on mine, but will copy & paste.
