I don't think of it like that so much. Only 1700 have been sold, yes, but that is 1700 that have been sold while our idiot chancellor has been saying "no, I don't know if this is going to work... why would I show any signs of positivity?".

We will be playing football. Cautiously optimistic is about all our chancellor will allow. I wish he would just get fired or something.
