ReplyDeleteGood Heavens, what a to-do about the archdeaconry of Dorset. You'd think the monarch would have had enough of such shenanigans after a couple hundred years - though rulers may have thought it (as Charles II did about Loss Ross's divorce bill) "better than a play." I still carry a handkerchief. Many people use tissue paper, but they rarely have it when they need it. And the oft-touted means of dealing with a sneeze (especially quoted during covid) of sneezing into one's sleeve is disgusting...
