'Golden Age' stuff that's worth re-reading if only for The Weejun's practicalties.

Elsewhere, JFM quotes the late Jeff G on 'our culture'. He goes on to define certain aspects of it in that rather scholarly, non-piss taking way he sometimes had and deployed. Very 'London' I'd say. Very 'smallish part of Jewish London with a few gentiles on board'. 'Our culture'. With Jeff, still waters ran deep. Yet he once recommended that I take my family to the 'Honest Sausage' in Regents Park.

I was amused to see Frosty describe our Gibson as 'working class'. As a left-leaning, ex-public schoolboy, he would have found romance and virtue in equal quantities in that notion. As with all that Kim Philby schtick. The next middle-class berk who tells me how wonderful it must have been to have been brought up in a draughty house without a bathroom, I'll shove their head down the crapper.
