But I was being sort of tongue in cheek as the BBC has been breathlessly covering this. Streeting was right today that such coverage is causing undue alarm across the country.
I did not realise it was actually called MenB.

I thought it was a bit out of character but that you'd nick-named it - like the whole "panny d" thing :lol: :bleeding:

And I literally live less than 100m from the Old Kent Road which I feel is a clue.

Edit: 597 is when the Cathedral is founded/St Augustine arrives.
