Of more interest is how on earth it cropped up in the Telegraph quick crossword. A better home for it would be Saturdays prize crossword, then my wife would not have seen it and my ears would not have taken a battering.

Some readers are terrific. Others, not so much. My favorite readers are Alexander Spencer (does the best women’s voices), Frederick Douglas (does the best regional accents), and Jonathon Cecil.

I found this site when googling “part brass rags”, mentioned in a documentary about Wodehouse, available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jtZMAFA2Zo. I thought you might be interested in it, and in hearing Wodehouse’s voice. :-)

Toodle-pip,
Katrin
