Yup, spot on. You're not Peter Hitchens, are you?

I wish I were. He's the one living man I admire. It was almost uncanny, when I first discovered him; I had never previously encountered somebody whom I agreed on more or less EVERYTHING with.

Mr Hitchens was somehow tricked into giving an interview to two feckless students about drug legalisation a year or so ago and, after being subjected to their stupidity and inarticulacy for nine minutes, ended the interview, refused to shake their hands and told them to "rot in hell":

Yes, he's certainly an interesting and perceptive commentator, though totally at odds with the Zeitgeist. Never possible to post comments on his DM articles for some reason.

Do you remember a time when toast and jam cost only sixpence?
Nope. Same question.
Methinks Kraftiekortie is indulging in a spot of ironic teasing here...
Being two or three decades (or more) older than Prometheus though, I can certainly remember when a jar of jam would have cost not much more than a shilling, though sixpence would be pushing it, even for me...

If I were PH, I'd start shouting at you now for getting the name of the publication wrong.
Frankly, he's the only honest journalist left in Britain. I do have a little time for Melanie Phillips (Telegraph), Ann Widdecombe (Express), Richard Littlejohn (MoS), Quentin Letts (DM) and a handful of others, though.
