Mustn't upset our oil suppliers, tut tut. Best thing that happened to Africa was the Atlantic transportation of the 17/18 th century, and before the world and it's dog descend on my house allow me to explain.

Rent a gobs can generally only cope with one idea at a time, so does this mean the Environment is no longer an emergency ?
