I don't carry scales or a newton balance with me when I visit Weston-super-Mare so I have no idea how much a donkey weighs.

Bugger, I've just noticed that. Any way to change the title as I normally side with the language police on these things.

It wouldn't let me balance the Sun Vs. Cats frown

I was really looking forward to how many cats we need to burn to keep us going when the Sun runs out laugh

That type of defeatist, cynical comment pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with this country today - hang your head in shame sir...
It's not defeatist it's realistic. It's common sense. Your pie in the sky idealism is the problem with this country. Now back to the Sociology department with you.
