HOUSE OF LORDS
- 25 October 2010 17:0776584alex
the only two serving peers i have ever met(baron underhill of leyton and lord murray of epping forest) both used to travel up on the central line tube from home, walked at either end.
own of them owned a cortina and the other didn't drive.

they always look like snoozing, the speakers are in the top corner of their seats. - 25 October 2010 18:1176604I thought the parties had to be roughly balanced because of the equal number of seats on each side of the chamber. We can't have everyone squashed up on one side !
- 25 October 2010 18:1376605Thats correct Howard- they do indeed have speakers in the back of seats and, if hard of hearing, a peer can be mistaken for being half asleep when listening to a debate.
- 25 October 2010 18:1676606I thought the speakers were in the house of commons Howard, now I am confused.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered. - 26 October 2010 12:1376702Sorry barry i nodded off whilst reading the first line
- 26 October 2010 12:1676703Then read a more appropriate thread - I am rather enjoying this one.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
