  • [ I can't bring to mind the expression 'red herring' without also bringing to mind my long-time friend and swigger of cough medicine straight from the bottle for recreational purposes, Mr B Rimmer. That was how we answered the phone to each other, 'Red herring, come in red herring'. Thank you for the diversion :) ]
