People who commence their pontifications about their 'solution' to something that's wrong in the world with "it's perfectly simple..."

Usually signed off with the word 'simples'.No, it's not perfectly simple. Few things are. If it were simple then the problem would already have been fixed.

Still finding bits of the bloody thing!

Yesterday on Radio 4 'Today' programme - hosted by whispering Nick Robinson. Stellar choice for a spoken broadcast - a man recovering from throat cancer who has not yet regained his full range, and instead his rasping fades into the background.
