I was listening to radio (BBC radio2) and the topic of 'what have you just found out' came up, hence the title of the thread. It actually produced some very interesting answers, so what have you just found out? For me, well I just found out the content of my whiskey bottle was lower than I thought!

That some of our MP's who would, I'm sure, be able to tell the bankers how to run their businesses; would offer their advice on how to sort out the economic mess that surrounds us today, would appear to then be incapable of keeping track of their own personal finances.

Hi Debbie---M.P. stands for Member of Parliament somewhat similar to your Congressman/woman in the House of Representatives.

Then, the party that has the most elected becomes the government and the leader of their party, the Prime Minister.
