No, I never actually intend offence...oh, wait now... that was a lie and liars make the baby Jesus cry. I have to be careful at this point or Holy Santa will cross me off His list and I've been waiting 30-something years for a Scalextrix and between me & you, I reckon this is the year that he comes good.
