After Bill Dornan and I wrote this piece in The Times last month, we had some very unusual follow-up from the media. None was more offbeat than the interest shown by a magazine called Membership Today, which has just published this article on us. Nice work Alex, but we were drinking those brandies and soda in the morning: nothing like fortifying yourself when you’re about to head towards Brixton tube station.

On a related note, I’ve just had an email from someone who is busy reading Swinesend:

Bought and am reading the book - frighteningly so very true in many many places. Were any of the authors educated at Haileybury, or are all these places the same?

They’re all the same James, they’re all the same.
