Who is my relation?
Sir: I notice that relations of Dame Edna and her entourage and relations of Spectator employees are ineligible for your competition. Could you specify the exact degree of consanguinity that disqualifies? It has become a matter of some urgency since Mr Andrew Barrow's important work The Gossip Family Handbook hit the shops, for virtually the whole of the British race seems on a strict reading to be ruled out. If! am to have to wade through the maunderings of that raving windbag William Blake (a sort of theist Michael Foot to my mind) I want to be sure that descent from Edward III shared with you or the secretary who makes your tea isn't going to foul up my chances.
