Lembit to Julian-'Look this house needs to be realistic as possible - we need to feel the pain of our constituents, suffer as they do with the rising cost of fuel, really understand their plight'
Julian-'But Lembit aren't you taking things a bit far - there is ice forming on the inside of the walls'
Lembit-'Don't worry, at the next constituency meeting I'm intending to show them how to use an ice axe. I've been told some have been to be climbing the walls to get out'
Julian- 'I think they mean Britain - Lembit'
