Peter The Great

[mr_maudlin]

I too went all Anthony Powell after John's Desert Island Discs appearance, but I have to confess I only got three quarters of the way through them; though each time i pass a road sign for the village of Widmerpool in Nottinghamshire, I always make a mental note to try again, but always forget by the time I get home.
