There I sat, glued to the news channels, unable to work, torn between the BBC and Sky News, finally giving in to Sky because they had the magical RESIGNATIONS COUNTER up in the corner of the screen. “It’s up to 30!” I would shout gleefully. “Thirty-one! Thirty-two!” It felt like watching Eurovision and every country was giving us 10 points. I only wished Sky could have added the loud, cheerful “PING!” of a bell whenever it went up. Although it might well have ended up “dinging” as crazily as the bell of Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad.
