An absolute wombat in my dept was talking about preparedness as 'there is an el nino on it's way' and saying we all need to keep stores of water, fuel, batteries, tinned food and essential goods over winter because 'oil may not get out of the straight (she definitely doesn't know it's spelt strait) passage.'
The same absolute wally that has been telling us Britain is failing because we no longer make our own oil and renewables are a waste of money and time. The slug cannot compute the connection between the two things.
At this rate I'm going to have to start having sign language conversations with my colleague who never speaks.
