"the great british take—0ff" is the splash in the mirror — it�*s after a surge in foreign holiday bookings following the prime minister�*s lockdown announcement about the road map out of lockdown. it is probably worth saying as well if you didn�*t see the beginning of the programme, there has been an update on the last few minutes in connection with tiger woods. the statement on his own twitter feed, the details from his surgeon saying he has suffered significant orthopaedic injuries, burns foot and ankle have been stabilised with screws and pins and there has been trauma damage to the muscle and soft tissue of h
