Giles
It's all been a bit serious so I thought I lighten the mood a little. Given the fact that most of us have had something to do with the services and there is nothing new with cuts in our services, its worth reflecting that cartoonists have been commenting for many years. My personal favourite is Giles and I have a few of his cartoon books. Here's one I found as a starter that reflects the position that many of you will have been in over the years

Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.
