James Lester sat in the House of Commons bar and sipped his gin and tonic. It had been a hectic week and he deserved a moment of respite before before being handed the next political hot potato.

As if the thought summoned a crisis into being, he saw a young civil servant heading his way.

"Well, what is it?" Lester asked once the man stood anxiously before him.

"Dinosaurs, sir."

It wouldn't do to be rendered speechless so Lester opted for a bland question while he gathered his wits.

"Really? Where?"

"Forest of Dean."

"Well, that won't do at all."
