But it’s elevated to a whole new level by the puntastic pay-off which is, well, have a read for yourself.

The journalistic equivalent of a majestic drive through the covers for four. @patrick_kidd at the crease. pic.twitter.com/nhXq8u3rXH

Reminds me of the wonderful line in Yes Prime Minister about the frustrated clergyman waiting to become a bishop: “long time, no see”.
