Did you happen to read the two subsequent links? I'll post them here just in case:
This, from James Pembroke, the publisher:
http://www.theoldie.co.uk/article/ne...r-of-the-oldie
and then this, from Harry Mount himself about his new job:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/think...youngie-heart/
It's a pleasant read. I can't wait to see if - or rather how -
The Oldie format will change. Harry will obviously want to put his own stamp on it, won't he?
Hey, maybe this is my chance to ask for
a complete page for the poetry competition! [In my dreams, I suspect.] And a different bloody prize after too many years of the Chambers Biographical Dictionary. Just how many of those damn things can they still have to get rid of??
