Eastenders is a British Soap Opera for people that have a very low IQ. Viewers of this programme may have a variety of other conditions including grotiness, being overweight or being utterly devoid of culture. The entire premise of the programme is based on the day-to-day lives of smelly make-believe people who cannot talk properly. Typical settings include a chip shop, a launderette, a garage and a pub. This programme is the chocolate beard that spoils the BBCs otherwise perfect washroom.
"Hello Dot - How are your varicose veins today?"
"Oo - not so bad - I'll see you down the launderette later"
"OK - unless I see you at the pub first"
"Yes" Eastenders - Please ditch it BBC

Financial Services Authority (UK)
Originally set up too late to protect the public from financial scandals, it now exists to gradually corode financial services in the UK. The favoured mechanism is by writing nonsensical rule books that go round in circles in the language of a 17th century lawlord on steroids. Also, rules that are "Principal Based" so that they can catch you out on anything they haven't written an actual rule for (yet). The FSA is the chocolate beard in the otherwise pristine washroom of British Financial Services. It will take UK Financial Services down the same road as our car industry has gone - India and China.

"Have we got enough money money for our Chrismas Party Tarquin"
"Oh yes - but we'll fine a few more firms first, so we can each go in a new Porsche and flush our wee-wees away with Champagne"
