‘Coatgate’ update.

‘Coatgate’ update.

I can only apologise.  Because of all the questions today, I completely forgot to update you on the ‘Coatgate’ issue.

Negotiations were tough, we had to appoint Tall Kevin as chief mitigator.  We did try to engage the services of the best negotiator around at the moment, Teresa May, but as she is so busy she couldn’t spare the time.  And because we both knew exactly what we wanted she couldn’t really help anyway.

In the spirit of good relations and all things European we have both decided to leave things as they are and keep our respective coats, which will make life much easier for everybody in the long run.  There will be no more wondering what the outcome will be and having to go back for more discussions about who gets to wear it what day and at what time. 

We’re all friends again.

However.

In my wisdom and in the interest of keeping relations good and making sure there is no going back on the deal.  I have decided to put a BackStop agreement in place.

If she comes Back here in any other garment the same as one that I own, I will Stop her getting in!
