“Delighted to learn that Daisy was with me that day, we three gathered for a chat.”

The three seem to consist of Daisy, Ged and Johnny…so does that mean there was another Daisy who conveniently disappeared when Daisy (2), Ged and Johnny met? Whatever happened to this other Daisy?

Metaphorically.

Oh dear sweet Jesus yes. There’s me and Ged posh, and then there’s “Daddy let me borrow his Rolls for the weekend” posh.

I think that might be part of the running joke, old bean, as perceptions of poshness are relative.

But I assure you that if you came and sat in one of those Lord’s stands with us on a test match day, you would realise that, in relative terms, the people I describe as posh, are posh.

I imagine that Balladeer will concur.

Panthers no more. What do we call them now? “Sexers”?

I was thinking more of my dad’s yellow Austin Princess, which looked a little like this:

But now I come to think of it, I do recall being told that Ian’s sister used to spake just like Daisy.

Ian’s sister?

Is the spelling of ‘Jane Austin’ an in-joke I have missed, or is it perhaps meant to say ‘Jane Austen’?
