Apologies for interjecting into the argument but I'm taken by the comment:
It's not the handbag that's defeated me though - it's the runway at Netherthorpe!
Defeated by a runway??? I don't recall anyone being vanquished by a runway before, unless there is a deleted scene in one of the Star Wars films along the lines of:
Darth Vader: Prepare my Imperial fighter for the assault on Earth
Underling: Sorry DV, the fighter fleet are all grounded pending an AD from Imperial fighters. We're working on them now.
Darth Vader: Then prepare the Seneca, it may be old technology but its sound & will get us to the landing ground at Netherthorpe
Underling: Ahhh...DV...We've just been looking at Pooley's and there's only 400m at best, we may have to divert to Leeds-Bradford or Sherburn. I've asked the storm troopers to hold off starting the battle to give us time
Darth Vader: <Breathing Deeply>
This is not good we'll never take control of Worksop at this rate, my plan is
defeated by the runway at Netherthorpe.
<Turns with a swish of his black cape>
Turn this Death Star around, we'll knock six bells out of Hoefir IV
I'll keep taking the tablets...
