It's something that we natives are trying to avoid at all costs.

By the way, I was in the local swimming pool last week when I thought I saw the familiar face of one of the local MP's step into the shallow end. I swam down there, ramming speed, and gave the b*st*rd a good side kick. Unfortunately, it was not Mr George Galloway, but some French bloke - so it didn't really matter, I suppose.
