Great stuff, Michael. I remember Walter Ellis writing a piece for the Sunday Telegraph in one 1,200 word sentence. The Scottish deputy editor, who was pissed, blew a gasket when he read it (he was a fine journalist but not a man of letters). It was retrieved from the spike the following morning by the editor, Sir Peregrine Worsthorne, who was. One of Walter’s finest offerings.

Thanks Mark. I had to make several attempts to make it stick like a Barnacle on Substack. Walter and I are great pals these days 🥸
