Amusingly, I learned the word "perambulation" from an over-heated (and over-rated) John Masters novel that was passed around my Junior School as "hot stuff". But I digress.

Actually I even idly browsed the job ads in today's Guardian media section, having got home just too late to catch "Working Lunch". While I like to think I could do most of them, there were some calling acronymically for skills I know not of. Another sign of Grumpydom, I suspect. And they are so badly written!

2  Lesley, by all means hang on to my original disc if you and Al enjoyed this film!
