@estwebber One of many odd aspects of the pre-ban House of Commons was that MPs could smoke *in the Library*. No fire risk of course, what with being surrounded by paper.
@estwebber When I first started working in the Lords the smoking room was on the Committee Corridor in what is now Comm Room 3a and 3b. Was very elegant. Baroness Boothroyd was also an avid smoker, in her office, Rothmans was her choice.
@estwebber My first day at CCHQ in 2009 I found myself in a lift with the shadow cabinet. George Osborne asked Ken Clarke how he was coping with the smoking ban. Ken said the parliamentary staff leave him alone as long as he sticks his head out of the window.
@HNM_PMurray @estwebber We've always called the shop/delivery company ming-is as well. Did confuse me when I was younger. Can't unlearn it now.
Now wondering whether Menzies Campbell ever held a campaign launch outside a branch of John Menzies just to confuse everyone, and if not why not.
Has everyone just given in to pronouncing Menzies "mensies" now
I remember standing at Barcelona airport asking (in Spanish) where the Menzies handling desk was, pronouncing Menzies in the traditional Scottish fashion and getting an absolutely baffled look
Has everyone just given in to pronouncing Menzies "mensies" now
my childhood local, a tremendous chippy, they used to deep fry you an entire chicken on demand before the deep state and wokerati put a stop to all that
EXCLUSIVE: The owner of the chippy in Paisley which Liz Truss named as her "favourite" in her new book has given her reaction to the news. 🗣 “Look, we'll serve anybody."
@estwebber We had a Menzies on one of our shows and I spent 45 minutes that morning trying to find a clip of them saying their name. It was “Men-zees”. Clearly depends on the individual
@estwebber I am 100% in favour of the 'Men-zees'' pronunciation at all times, for perhaps obvious reasons
@estwebber No, still Mingus, unless it’s John Menzies
