"Plenty to be said for Corfu"

OK, so it's no big deal for you lot, scathed early and often in one of the few voices I trust (and tones and vocab I often find hard to believe), but for my mincing blog, 'tis like turning to page 3 in The Times and finding oneself recipient of a knighthood in Her Majesty's birthdays honours - back when that meant something; back, too, come to think of it, when The Thunderer carried some weight.
