Millicent and I told him he was peculiar, but then one day the truth dawned on Cedric's furrowed brow, and he ululated in my direction: "It's you and your ruddy honey!"
I put my hands up and, not unusually, they were smeared in honey. I exaggerate, of course. My hands are not always smeared in honey. But if you were to go on Mastermind and be asked, "Is Robert McNeil fond of honey?", you'd get a point for answering: "Oh, yes!"
