There is only room for one bitter and twisted person in this World and he lives in Shropshire.
And here I thought he lived at 10 Downing Street!
Being a Shropshire lad yourself, salopian, perhaps you could explain the phrase "the land of lost content"? Does it express the UK's loss of happiness (i.e., con-TENT)- or loss of significance (i.e., CON-tent)? Or both?
Conversations in which the term "gentlemen" is bandied about always carry a faint whiff of 'the other' board. Heaven preserve us!
