    Jonathan Meades on Jargon

    Anyone else watch this terrific programme?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...uggid=b09xzsbp

    Long been an admirer of Meades so it was good to see him back after a lengthy interval as erudite, witty and waspish as he ever was

    Good review here:

    I take great comfort from one of the questions posed by Meade:

    "What sort of cu*nt decrees that "cu*nt" is unacceptable, whereas "vagina" is OK?"
    "Beat the price and lose. It's what we do".

    Answer - a great big fanny.
