There are some on this board who remember when getting an orange (with the peel still on, of course) in your stocking at Christmas demonstrated how special the day was and how much your parents wanted to spoil you that day.

There exists The Disabled Lobby.
They're pretty salty about these oranges being withdrawn, on the almost-reasonable grounds that if you've lost a hand, or have arthritis, oranges are all but impossible to peel.

Yes, that was my first thought too.
But they'd probably say that having to ask a mate for a favour is "demeaning". Or perhaps they've no mates.

The idea of doing a politician (hah! as if) as a weathervane is somehow appropriate. It's two-faced, it has no will of its own and has no other purpose than to be what it is.
