    I'm now immersed in reading "Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Volume 3): 1943-57" and it makes for engrossing reading. I've already read the previous 2 volumes and found them interesting, though I don't care at all for 'Chips' Channon the person. One thing I can say about Channon, though, and that is he is not blind to some of his shortcomings or failings.

    Now my curiosity is piqued!! The censored sexual incident must be something!!

      The Dutch prostitute story?
      I can't say I think it terrible.
      Not appealing to me, but not a lot is appealing, to me.
      I'd rather have a second serve of pudding.
      Edit. Just thought, it might be another incident, much worse! The story I know was spanking older women prostitutes.

    Gotta say. Simon refers to the ‘son in laws’ of Lord Iveagh.
    I did NOT expect that!

    Two toffs discussing a dead toff. Entertaining but totally irrelevant.
