But we have no advertising on BBC TV. Zero. A 1 hour show goes fir 1 hour
Nobody here thinks it is weird
In an age of global anxiety, itβs good to wear my American medals in an environment of amity beyond politics
Itβs a normal thing
I ascertained that an ancestor of mine was a member of their American counterpart regiment
A glorious shout out to my new comrades in The Honourable Artillery Company. A fine dinner and great hospitality
Ok. Iβve been. There is a lot of booze. Forgive me, Iβm holding the side up
Give me an hour, I think Iβm heading there

shouldve sent the heavy brigade
I'm trotting out my dinner jacket, postnominals and my City Freedom tonight. As one does.
