A day out... Alan Bennet

When I was 8 years old the Queen Mother smiled at me at Kempton Park Races.

37 years later, she was dead.

The curse of Clive, eh? Remind me never to offend you, you svelte handsome bit of alright...

Am I doing this right?

Actually Clive, forget it (fatty). Strike me down in 37 years time if you wish. I've just done the maths.
