Leo Hughes was actually a very interesting man, if you could get him to talk. He was very well read, he told me once that when he was a teenager, he used to dream in Latin! The Observer must have had so many characters - wonder if any other newspaper, even a national, could beat the record?

I still read the Observer, buy a copy every time we come up, and read it online when in London .... except you can't get the hatches, matches and despatches online, nor a lot of the really interesting local bits.
