HOUSE OF LORDS (n.) Large congregation of superannuated octogenarians each carrying relaxed countenance while endeavouring to remain awake

Since they started televising the House of Lords, I am amazed that there haven’t been riots about them lying around sleeping and getting £323 a day for turning up, plus other expenses. That’s £6,500 minimum a month for doing absolutely nothing.
I can only presume nobody has ever watched it.
Cheers, Pete.

Believe it or not I spent the 80s typing out their speeches in Hansard.
