"Well I've been over to Brussels and we have made excellent progress. I told them they were being unreasonable and that good old Blighty is just not going to stand for it. They didn't like what I had to say. Not what they are use to but I reminded them that we won the war - Twice! We deserve more respect, more gratitude. Maybe a "thank you for all that'. It took a lot of persuasion but they have finally shown a bit of humility and accepted that I am right and always have been. Starting in January, we can have whatever bananas we like, classify them as we like, have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner, if we like, and nobody is going to tell us they are just too bendy! I don't know about you but I call that a victory for common sense."
"On all the other stuff, we still need to talk some more."
