Americans have a long tradition of speaking bad film dialogue whenever they get interviewed on the news. The head of the oil fire fighting company currently dealing with the spill off the Gulf of Mexico coast has said "The object of this game is to shut off the flow." That's the sort of bad line you expect Bruce Willis to say.
Are there still British people stranded in airports all over the world? Or are they all back home, trying to deal with bank statements and piles of leaflets offering pizza discounts. I think Gordon's microphone has replaced the volcano as the greatest non-eruption of the past few weeks.
Like almost everybody else, I certainly wouldn't want anyone to record what I say in private, especially after some difficult social experience. That's what being human is all about. We're allowed to be lovely on the outside and totally vile within.
