As an aside, I wonder how long we can maintain this?

Before anyone else gets it - the Ministry of Silly Walks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w

"I'm afraid that the Ministry of Silly Walks is no longer getting the kind of support it needs. You see there's Defence, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, Silly Walks ... they're all supposed to get the same. But last year, the Government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on National Defence! Now we get £348,000,000 a year, which is supposed to be spent on all our available products."
