Beggars' Choice

Went to a forum today which was to give the government a chance to listen to THE WORKERS. It started off rather comically when the Director-General of Health began his opening address with an effort to ingratiate himself to all present by drawing attention to how "casual" he had dressed, and how he had not bothered to put a tie on. Wow! "I say, you worker fellows! I've rolled up my sleeves, and I'm not afraid to do some real work; digging holes and so forth. Now let's eat pies, and drink local beer! Straight from the can!"

We banged our hammers and sickles together anyway, just to be polite.

UPDATE. Apparently on Friday he addressed a group of Occupational Therapists dressed as a chimney sweep and concluded his address with a rendition of "With a Little Bit of Luck". Or so I imagined.
