Bill English was one of the hundreds of people who turned out for the re-launching of the Kingston Flier steam train on Saturday. Bill had an official duty to perform - cutting the ribbon.

From his perch beside the coal tender, Bill declared, "I won't talk politics, but I hope the ribbon is blue!" then set off, scissors in hand, to cut said ribbon.

Seeing the result of the coming election before his eyes, Bill gave vent.
Realizing that all was lost, Bill retired to the refreshments tent for a couple or one muffin (in joke, eh Addy!)
