Mr. Johnson live on GMB 8.30 today

Quite.

It's strange that so many people think that if someone lives in a big house they shouldn't support the LP. Tens of thousands of people who live comfortable lives support the LP or other left leaning parties, the reason being that they care about those less fortunate than themselves and want to try to improve their lives.

I know Elsie’s real, however even she had just been planted and used to illustrate the position hundreds of thousands of older people will find themselves in, it showed the PM up for what he is - that is the material point.

Quite.

Do you always have to have the last word!

We know nothing of Elsie's politics. Unless someone has anything that shows otherwise?

No

Is working for the Conservative Party - and hence an activist - also considered derogatory?

We have an Elsie in our family, she is at primary school, so not particularly ancient…

I think that I need to apologise. I didn’t actually see Elsie - I only heard about it all on the radio.
I assumed that she was around 70 years old.
(And you know what assume did…?)

Ancient then! ???

I'll let my 78 year old auntie know that her middle name is just non-U any more.
On the contrary, volver, she may be thrilled to know it's very fashionable again now.

My school friend's mother was Elsie but she insisted on being known as Elise.

No Callistemon I didn’t think that she was ‘ancient’, at all, I said thought she was around 70
I do hope I’m not being accused of being ‘ageist’.
I’d better tell DH.

Sorry!
It's been a busy and rather odd morning.

Okay I’ve pmed you ?

The only 'Elsie' I know is actually Laura Claire....LC. Sorry, as you were.

Poor Boris ?. Nothing's ever his fault.

I had no idea that a hang over was now known as food poisoning
