1. All of my current suits are single-breasted (although I do have a double-breasted blazer). Most have two buttons, but one (in a partially successful attempt to get round the problems caused by my long body) is three-breasted. Colour, usually dark and conservative - navy, charcoal &c, although I do have a lighter suit (in colour and weight) for summer.
I tend to go to Sousters nowadays - a proper tailors in Woburn, who do off the peg, made to measure, semi bespoke, and true bespoke.
2. Playing myself? Taking three for eight, life offices versus consultants, Birmingham Actuarial Society :-) If I'd pushed for a slip, I might have had four for seven :-)))
Watching? My first professional cricket game - Leicestershire winning the John Player League, 1977, with David Gower and Ray Illingworth at the crease.
3. Earl Beorntnoth? John Smith was probably the best prime minister we never had.
4. Yes, but not desperately wanted to own. The closest is probably the Folio de luxe Silmarillion. There are one or two things I've bought, then found a better copy (better condition, or first edition) later on, and ended up selling the earlier copy at a loss.
5. "Creatrix, would you like to feed this man?" ;-)
Just at the moment, we are a little short of food, as it's a while since we've been shopping. If you wanted a three-course meal, the best we could do at reasonably short notice would probably be soup from a tin, roast partridge with boiled new potatoes and some green vegetable, and vanilla ice cream with sliced bananas and maple syrup. A lighter snack might be cheese and bacon on toast.
