Heard him on the wireless last night. Apparently he has been dead exactly 50 years. Wonder if the young 'uns recall him

My favourite was the Letter from a Tyrolean Landlord:

Quote
Standing among savage scenery the hotel offers stupendous revelations.There is a French widow in every bedroom, affording delightful prospects. There is a balcony overlooking the romantic gorge, and I hope you want to drop in.
I give personal look to the interior wants of each guest. Here you shall be well fed up and agreeably drunk. Having once sampled our fooding you will surely wish to enlarge your stays.

Numerous bad rooms. Full drainage. Our charges for weekly visitors are scarcely creditable. Peculiar arrangements for gross parties. Our motto is ever, "Serve you right."

Could be the VP, I suppose,  whistle:

I have not heard of him but I wouldn't put myself in the category of a 'young un'. Perhaps yuo should also have a catch all for the ignorant as well - then I would feel more qualified to respond  lol:
