My son was invited to visit the houses of parliament. While it's true many of their lordships are pretty experienced in years what often looks like a snooze may not be. Their seats are fitted with "hidden" speakers and since some are a little hard of hearing will sit in a way to get their ears closer so they can actually hear. (Of course this could also be used to excuse a little nap too!)
