    ...I honestly don't believe what I'm hearing - anyone listening to the past 'special advisor' to Sajid? Boris all but said the same last night - all but tried to justify any 'gathering' based on work pressures and the layout of the location. What?!  So if you're under pressure at work and work in a crappy, cramped environment, you can break rules?

    'Sorry officer, I know I'm 10 times over the limit, but I work in a Georgian building and I had a very, very stressful day...'.
    'OK sonny, that's a fair excuse to me. Be on your way and don't let me catch you drinking at the wheel again this side of Christmas...'

    Am I the only person who can't imagine there are NO CCTV cameras in No 10. ?
    Surely there is a LOG of visitors at No10?
    There are 2 police officers at the end of Downing Street 24/7. 
    It can't be that hard to work out who was there that night.
    Unless , of course, they just want us to believe there was nobody there, and no rules were broken. If THAT unlikely scenario is the case , why did AS have to resign yesterday?

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Boris had a secret exit made from his flat so that he could come and go without being seen.

    or his mistresses could?

    Ahh! That might account for some of the £200,000🤔 And then there's probably a pratmobile at the bottom of the slide. They cost quite a bit too.

    My understanding is that every arrival and departure from No10 is logged.  It is an office building as well as residence.

    Changing the subject, I recently tried to change the Primary email address on my Paypal account. My old email address does not exist any more and we changed providers anyway. It knows my 2nd email address already. Apparently it can't be done as it is telling me that primary email addresses cannot be edited or deleted. That can't be right surely? I've now got confirmatory emails/receipt etc for a recent purchase going to my old address.
