Proud to say I bought it. And tried to work out the chorus harmonies. And 'choreograpny'.

Indeed. But I recall reading somewhere he later regretted his Brexit choice due to the division caused... Also disappointing that Australian-born actor Leo McKern (Rumpole of the Bailey) was early advocate for UKIP and, I think, Goldsmith's Referendum Party - which doesn't get the blame it deserves.

We chatted about the bizarre experiences of working with minor local celebrities in provincial pantomimes. My friend Alan was right. I still smile about it now. All the best and keep up the good work.

Robin, I've followed you around here for years but never disclosed why I like you. I met you exactly 27 years ago in Edinburgh when you were low on the bill and my friend Alan (now deceased) was even lower. He thought we'd get on. We had a great chat for ages. Liked you then, still like you now 👍

Bravo - outwith is indeed a very useful word. The fact that I know it will raise eyebrows in certain circles makes me use it even more.
