"The best of all that is decent in the world." Very apt comment by Vimto. Wodehouse showed how to amuse without vulgarity. Sadly, the world of Wodehouse has been replaced by sitcoms.

Yes, and the most English of all novels (Auberon Waugh excepted) it is worth noting that P.G Woodhouse lived and wrote the comic novels in the USA!

Kind regards,
