Living in Smarts Lane, Loughton, just by Epping Forest. Coming up for eight months' pregnant, we were, with our first. We're taking her out to the Eden Project tomorrow, our lovely 34-year-old daughter, for a spot of lunch. I vaguely remember Jimmy Carter getting into a spot of bother he didn't really deserve. It seemed to be the undoing of him which meant we entered the worst phase of US foreign policy, under that trashy ex-film star, of the century. I mean, how bloody stupid was it to elect him. Never mind. We managed to get bloody Thatcher even before you got him. Dark days. Were I Christian I might be tempted to say God rot both of 'em, but instead I'll just wish that history judges them just as harshly as they deserve.
