WITH just three weeks left before the UK exits the European Union (possibly), MPs have sought advice on a most urgent matter.
The flow of goods is set for significant disruption, and in particular reassurances have been sought that supplies of toilet paper will not dry up.
MP, Jonathan Edwards, on Tue asked ministers how long local supply would last post-Brexit.
Puns have rained down upon the rash of concern, with Cabinet Office Minister, Simon Hart, giving a "bog-standard" reply.
He said the government would "prioritise the flow of goods", "minimise friction" and would not "flush the economy down the toilet".
Pharmacies throughout the realm have stocked their back rooms high, it is rumoured.
what's in a name?
A Nigel by any other name is still a Nigel, or so the 433 Nigels gathering for a world Nigel-meet believed.
The party at the Fleece Inn in the village of Bretforton, in Worcestershire, is believed to have set the record for the number of Nigels gathered and it was organised by landlord Nigel Smith, 56.
The event also raised funds for the British Heart Foundation.
"I've always felt that the name's much maligned -- people would say to me when I was young 'Nigel, that's got to be a joke name hasn't it?'", he said.
And what is the collective noun?- a "niggle of Nigels"?
