From my childhood I remembered Lodge as rather blokey mainly from his cartoons in the Sports Post.
As a member of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes my father would occasionally head off to "the lodge" for some male bonding. Because Neville Lodge's work appeared under the title "Lodge Laughs", I assumed that his jokes were intended to be enjoyed in that blokey context.

Okay, a diversion. ...

Music and the Making of Modern Science
By Peter PesicOverview
In the natural science of ancient Greece, music formed the meeting place between numbers and perception; for the next two millennia, Pesic tells us in Music and the Making of Modern Science, “liberal education” connected music with arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy within a fourfold study, the quadrivium. Peter Pesic argues provocatively that music has had a formative effect on the development of modern science—that music has been not just a charming accompaniment to thought but a conceptual force in its own right.https://mitpress.mit.edu/music-science

Red meat gets in via the EU but the Brit producers/farmers resent NZ meat. So will there now be moves to block meat into Britain?

I thought your point was that the quota could be cut. I assumed this when I read: "I think there’s a real chance that Fonterra, and potentially other major agricultural exporters, will find themselves losing some of their EU access well before they gain any countervailing access to the UK."
