While I have decided that there's really not a pressing need to intrude telephonically on the good Mr Heath's Sunday merely to check on just how exactly his assessment of the current state of musbiz coincides with mine, it will surely be raised next time we're in contact.

Sadly, the day when this ceases to be an issue is still far from dawning, though I hope not to experience too many Borfolk moments when Leon Rosselson comes to Walthamstow tonight.
