Just finished reading "The Oxford Book of Schooldays" by Patricia Craig ... a good read. One critic, John Mortimer, commented: " ... a book essential to any true understanding of the English character." Perhaps the English character he is talking about is no longer with us.
I'll have to give that some thought ... I'm watching baseball ... bottom of the 8th, Cards leading 8 to zip ... and have just poured my fourth Bomber and fired up a joint ... this trend towards alcoholism and drug abuse I lay at the door of Mr. Butcher, art teacher, who had me copying out immense chunks of the "Listener" when I could have been out playing football.
Go figure, eh
