What Harriet Harmen said to the deputy US Ambassador (an imaginary monologue)

"We don't like it you kill our soldiers. Please stop. Oh, and you couldn't possibly send a couple of your chaps round to have a word with our coroner, could you? He's getting quite testy because they never show up. It would make Tony look frightfully bad if something doesn't happen and when Tony looks bad then you're boss's boss's boss looks bad.

"Do you fancy some tea? I have a lovely Darjeeling you know.

"And before you go old chap Ken would like to know when you're going to settle your account re the congestion charge. He says he can't leave it open forever. He takes Visa, MasterCard and Maestro but not American Express or Diner's Club."
