Ah Brian, that made me laugh but you'll have to hope Tessa is not a chit of a thing or she won't know what a Woodbine is. Similarly, Betjeman's 'a packet of Weights' probably needs annotating now. Makes me come over all sad.

What do you mean, get on with work? THIS is work.

I learned about Woodbines from Adrian Mole. What I could never figure out was the connection between Craven A cigarettes and the classic song, "Craven A never heard of fornication."

Dear me, Gail. I don't think we can go into that here. Very rude. I don't see the connection either for what it's worth.Ah, an Oxford education!
