Best in the Country?

Not quite "Bratislava", but last week an independent outside observer said that "... Somerset is the best performing county in the country ..." thanks to Jonesy.

Now a year ago, the same chap was demanding a public apology from the Audit Commission for labelling his own Council "the worst in the country". (Liverpool Daily Post, Feb 9 2008).

Anyone else could be forgiven for becoming rather confused at this stage. But even without Albert Einstein to guide us, the regulars have a genius for seeing through fog and confusion to identify the intelligent solution.

In this case it is rather obvious: Jonesy simply goes back to Liverpool (taking Simon with him), and bingo ...

Within weeks the Audit Commission would be forced into a regrading and inventing a new accolade. Something like "Worst on the Planet" should do it!
