Retired publisher, occasionally distinguished. Easily amused, often appalled. Was exactly the right age for the Beatles, meaning I'm rarely the right age for anything now. Bibliophile, grammarian, has been known to be pedantic.

So now we’re metricating a cricket term first used in 1859, are we? Like β€˜doing a ton on the M4’ it has nothing to do with weight, except tangentially. Idiots.

He’s one of those rare birds, a publisher who became a successful writer. Something else I really enjoyed is Vine Street by Dominic Nolan. Set in Soho pre, during and post-war with a satisfyingly grumpy and misanthropic cop. Lots of tarts, bent coppers, bookies’ runners - and killers. Worth a read.

Terrific, isn't it?
