I have to admit that I don't like The Sun as a newspaper, because.. well read it - "posh" and "giant willy" should not be seen in a national newspaper - it is more like a tabloid! The Daily Telegraph reads much better.
Who they got that quote from; I have no idea. I don't recall anyone mentioning tarpaulins - but then I was with the Young Enterprise Company in Nottingham making £500! and not at school.
