Mums talking about the television their children watch. One said . . "My little boy likes to watch Parliament Live in the afternoons." This caused some surprise. A 3 year old watching grown men and women droning on and on . . . ?
"Oh yes. He loves it. He sits in front of the screen with the oven gloves hanging over his head, shouting
"ORDER! ORDER!'"
The Late George Thomas, (Lord Tonypandy) sometime Speaker of the UK House of Commons, wearing his ceremonial "Oven Gloves".)
This truly great and much loved Speaker died in 1997.
