No that can't be right, PT would have given us some 'clues'; a statue of a donkey with a hat on, some castanets, a poster of a bullfight with Viva Espania scrawled across it, you know, subtle stuff.

Ye gods! And since when has there ever been something called Christmas Pudding Mix available to buy in packets? Ever!

Even if you could buy the display plants at the CFS before the end of the show (which you can't), you still wouldn't find any wreaths. What makes him think you would?

How would you present that wreath, and to whom?

Why am I giving so much thought to something so bloody stupid? Fuck knows.

OK...

Scrunched London extreme style. With thatched cottage, although in fairness that may be part of the flower show.

"The Euro is shit" template getting another airing. I've a feeling he'll be alternating between this theme and the 'disappearing up the arse of royalty' for a while.

Birds. OK, classic bat flocks in the background, but the ones in the foreground seem to have been replaced by doodlebugs and vicious gangs of keep left and keep right signs.

Why would you got to a flower show to buy a wreath?

If not just a big sign saying "SPAIN"!

You have to give him credit for today's masterpiece... even it's a piss-weak "joke" even by his standards, I don't think there are too many people who could crowbar another dig at the euro into a cartoon about a flower show

No floating newspaper. Is the Euro in trouble, or something?

A failure to understand perspective properly means that the WAY IN sign is pointing the, er, way out.

And another thing, if I had been given a nice, new shiny box of colored pens and had a flower show to draw, I would have maybe ,just maybe, done some flowers.

I am thinking about this far too deeply aren't I?

It looks as though the pointing gentlemen will have more luck buying oranges fresh from the tree. Maybe Spain is so poor it's had to ship all its groves to Chelsea.

I'm also giving this too much thought.

What other topical stories can be turned into unfunny Paul Thomas anti-euro 'jokes'?

— Convicted Lockerbie bomber dies: "Let's bury him with the euro."

— Shares in Facebook plateau after launch: "I hope you didn't pay for them in euros!"

— Playing Angry Birds makes people irritable: "Let's chillax by chucking our worthless euros at some pigs instead."

I think you have the measure of his creativity. This is the man who got 3 years mileage out of saying "Gordon Brown is shit" in new and exciting ways.

I suspect he didn't draw the entrance to the CFS as it actually is simply because that would have deprived him of an oppurtunity to draw some bricks.
