I blame Steed mainly, mainly because he's Gordon Brown's....friend. The stories are epic. Since you're new to the subsimz, here's what steed looks like:
This photo was taken after the make-over. In this particular photo, Steed had glued his hand to his head. He's okay now, but it took a lot of nail polish to remove the glue.
But Steed is a nice chap though, kind of the subsim mascot.
And a little known secret, Steed is a closet Tory, no foolin.
He may wear the sickle and hammer knickers, but it's just for show.
