Prescott (Verbatim) Q & A In Commons
Nov 27, 2002, 10:33
From the Grauniad:

Q: Might the firefighters be more willing than we realise to adopt new working practices?

A: I personally have always had that to my mind, and in particular for the consequences of fire service. I visited my fire stations. They posed the question of what is the work of the firefighter, and that precisely what we have to dress ourselves to this. That should be the front of every one of us. It's certainly to the front in my intentions, and I intend to see we can achieve it.

Thanks Mr P for that insightful answer. Glad to see someone's on the ball. Hope he never has to talk to Donald Rumsfelt :)

What is his purpose?

Why it's a grey, sleek marine mammal - member of the Cetacean Family i believe... oh, hang on, "purpose". Not "porpoise".... d'oh!

If only that was true... for the full horror read the article in the Grauniad itself (beware of the wrap):
