That reviewer is a bit of a pseud, though. "Lucubrate"? That's a sixth-form word if ever I heard one. Then again, I love the wonderfully ironic word "decerebrate": a word which is not understandable by the very people it describes.

Never heard of Meades, but Heffer's writing is a bit strange in places.

King of Who???
Les, if you have never seen a Jonathan Meades programme (shame on you..
) you really should watch these. Every one is an education.
Check out Meades Shrine on Youtube for the complete back catalogue.

It never used to be like that...
Posts like this do, of course, take up the space that the serial drivel merchants should 'rightfully' be entiled to.
