If I go to the Royal Oak it might be because I'm driving the guests, Not that it's the slightest bit any business of yours, more a matter for Southern Trains or whatever they're calling themselves these days.

Why do do feel you have to defend your 'club'? I've never been and have therefore made no comment other than that in a correspondence with Valmai she was most helpful. The only thing I could possibly have against it so far is your silly hat. And hopefully Vic will have the sense to ban that from the Royal Oak.

Good grief, just look at yourself and how pompously pathetic you are.
