And I thought the real thing was even worse when it was first announced.
Saw a comment recently that the only people that wouldn’t like it would be ‘grumpy, old, male purists.’

I’m by no means a purist but the SVR must have money to burn.

The SVR often appear in the local newspaper anouncing their latest grant/ windfall!
