In 1974, I saw the acclaimed humourist Basil Boothroyd buying a spirit level. It's the sort of thing that's always happening in my life;, the vouchsafing to yours truly of some small but resonant insight into the lives of the great and the good. I'd feel remiss in my duty as a human being if I didn't stop to pass on said insights, each contextualised with an account of the twists in my own small career.
