One of our number, known for his olfactory intolerance, (he regularly berates the staff for spraying tables with assorted cleaning confections which assault the nostrils), got up, nosed his way into the crowd, targeted a starch-shirted self-important toff, and asked him, out of consideration to the assembled many, to retire outside, where his aftershave or spray-on armpit treatment (ball or aerosol?) would at least be ameliorated by the redolent pungencies of Nigel's muckspreader, parked behind the farm shop.<BR/><BR/>A round of applause was due.
