And bear in mind that Mr Stanshall was an out-and-out advocate of STRONG TROUSERS – required attire for anyone going within a mile's radius of a ferret, I should say.

Outstanding Post and a damn goo...Peter. Thank You.<br /><br />Outstanding Post and a damn good hoot.<br /><br />East Wing, eh ?<br /><br />That's the sort of thing I always say to guests who wish to use "The Little Room". My instructions are: "Up the Stairs, through The Billiard Room, straight down the Corridor to The West Wing, and it's on your right. If you get lost, ask Perkins The Butler. His room is up there, somewhere".<br /><br />The stunned looks one gets from the guests is priceless.Zephyrinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179350648709554049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-14599120662942102732016-02-25T15:51:20.989+00:002016-02-25T15:51:20.989+00:00Ron: Didn't want to namedrop (moi?) but Ray Da...Ron: Didn't want to namedrop (moi?) but Ray Davies was there too (miserable) and Denzil off Only Fools and Horses (Paul Barber, exceedingly nice) who joined with Ray listening to me going on about the Diorama in between bites of wedding cake.<br /><br />Stephen: I've got an Ogden's St.Bruno showcard by LW on my wall, but he's perhaps best known for the Grandpops illustrations featuring orangutans doing orangutan things. Glad you like him.Peter Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027878122724846472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-71816245349205397922016-02-25T14:07:05.172+00:002016-02-25T14:07:05.172+00:00Lovely illustration.
