Good grief

Following a link trail, I ended up here:

The British Parking Awards. As in parking of a car. "[the] award was announced by actress and journalist Meera Syal". Well, a resting actress is entitled to make a living, but how in Vishnu's name did she keep a straight face?

I am *not* making this up, and I fear that words have actually failed me, so I will fall back on the old line about the apocalypse. I think I can hear hooves in the distance.

A little further digging shows that Adrian 'Voodoo' Chiles presented the awards in 2007, and showing the neutrality we expect of BBC figures referred to himself as "a leftie liberal". Yes he did.
