- Sit down, Gentlemen, we don't have much time. I have to see a deputation from the Consolidated Consortium of Cornish Pasty Provisioners in 15 minutes. They're in a crusty mood and threatening a bun fight if we don't come up with an answer.
- In just a few days we have had a crisis with Pensions, Planning, Petrol and now, for goodness sake, Pasties. What will be the next P?
- Protests?
- George you've really cooked our goose on this one. I've had more than a baker's dozen of calls and emails pointing out the absurdity of this pasty tax. I gather these pesky pasties are cooked until they're Gordon Brown on the outside …
- You mean golden brown,
- George, couldn't you have seen this coming?
- How was I to know these pasties were the nation's bread and butter?
- Just look at the definition of this hot food tax - "heated for the purposes of enabling it to be consumed at a temperature above the ambient air temperature and which is above that temperature when purchased." It's a recipe for disaster!
- This is pressure we don't want. Our poll rating has plummeted like a lead balloon. Labour are on a roll.
- Crumbs, we really are in hot water.
- This isn't pie in the sky it's the worst thing since sliced bread.
- I think we will find it's much a-dough about muffin.
- Come on, this is too serious for funny comments. A few more of this flops and we'll be stuffed ourselves.
