Westminster

An early start found the Gorse Fox back on the first train of the morning heading for London. The old slam-door rolling stock still trundles along that first slot of the day. Faces change, but only through age... Can't complain, however, at least there was heating on the train (apparently they hadn't managed that last week).

Arriving at Victoria he headed towards Westminster and his meeting. Slowly the others arrived from all points of the compass and the meeting got under way. Bit of a non-event really except for the statement:

We really must keep track of the number of cattle, sheep, goats and poultry in each of the offices.

The Gorse Fox's mind went into overdrive:

• Do these offices have special elevators for the animals on the upper floors?
• do they keep the different species away from each other?
• What are the implications for the plumbing facilities?
• Grass must be cheaper than carpet.
• What office products are required?
• The meat must be fresh in the canteen!

Any idea?
