Dead Common

Sir: Having'1followed the adventures of The Outlaw' with the liveliest enjoyment, I was stunned to discover that Michael Common wears aftershave. I can assure him this will not go down well with either Queenie or the Health Police. No proper man uses such frightful stuff — unless like James Bond, he intends to spray it on a poisonous insect, which can then be ignited at the throw of a match.
