Please forgive me for being totally flippant and trivial but today a crash involving 2 lorries on the M60 resulted in the loss of 32,000 litres of gin. Those of us who love our G&T must feel the loss. Yes Brexit is looming, hurricanes are happening, I do realise how pathetic I am but just allow me a little tear. I will accept all negative posts, I have become immune to them.
