Quick, grab this image before it offends.

"Come round for Fizz & Nibbles" my brother e-mailed. "We can watch the Grand Prix live." he said.

Well said brother and his good lady laid on a ridiculous spread. Proper quality - sausage rolls, a fine variety of sandwiches (all with the crusts cut off, they won't go to waste), mini filled rolls, smoked salmon and cream cheese open sandwiches, delicious cheese scones, cakes biscuits and profiteroles, all home made. Yet more provender that I can remember, all washed down with Earl Grey, Coffee and juice and fizz. Stuffed. We then set about putting the world to rights and had a jolly good laugh. Then it was all I could do to stay awake during the race (injustice for Alonso).   

We came away with substantial doggy bags. 

I appreciate other parts of the world can only dream of such indulgence. Perhaps todays blip is offensive after all.
