Greenpeace have totally blockaded all the entrances to the EU Council Secretariat, beside my office, in a protest against overfishing. I feel sorry for them because it is such a bitterly cold morning, but the Eurocrats don’t seem too devastated at being unable to get to work! And the point is one well worth making.
It’s sort of the thing I meant (I think). The way the speaker pronounced it, the word didn’t have one.
