Alton Towers' Nemesis #2: Declaration of War

The cabinet office anxiously checks upcoming transactions

A nation of blog-readers holds its collective breath as transactions are reviewed by the Cabinet Office, or breakfast bar, and at 11:45 a.m. precisely I rise to speak to the house:

This morning my ambassador in Staffordshire handed Herr Sam a final WhatsApp stating that, unless we heard from them by 12 o'clock that they were prepared to pay reparations amounting to two hundred and ninety-nine pounds, a state of war would exist between us.

I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this blog is at war with Alton Towers.
