Very interesting, Richard! Particularly agree with your comments about the present bunch of offerings presenting themselves as competent enough to run the Country (further into the ground?). Perhaps the envelope for postal voting is self-stamped? In which case I will be voting and for the first time in my life it will be for someone new on the scene. A wasted vote? Perhaps … I always remember a comment by a colleague when I worked for Barclays Bank comparing men, which was “would you want to wake up and see that face next to you on the pillow?” I rest my case …
I am sorry but I am afraid I really would not like to wake up with Sunak or Starmer’s head on the pillow next to me. Maybe I am old fashioned like that!
Well, now you’ve got me, Richard. I only knew the other one from the old rhyme ending in how to pronounce “bottomly” so now I’m stumped. By the way, I’m happy to be the proud owner of your book into which I will escape when necessary.

Enjoyed your take on British politics as respite from the drama here. Thanks, Richard (and I know it’s “chumly” right?).
Pronunciation spot on Katharine! Now try the village on the sea down the road from us (with an iconic lighthouse) - Happisburgh is pronounced ........
