Aahh but to whom do you attribute the quote !!!!
Hi Jeff. Greetings from Cambridge to Timaru. Well it's supposed to be Harold Macmillan isn't it but there is no solid source - the attribution to Macmillan is a Wikipedia fact, not a fact fact.
Still a good line, though.
It is attributed to him in a biography I have but this could be apocraphyl.
But you are right Stephen an excellent line.
Best wishes,
Jeff
