 | "When I was in primary school Paul Rodd and I were told to draw a circle and cut it out. Most of us drew round a tin. Paul, however, just started cutting away at his piece of paper. He reasoned that 'If you cut all the corners off a square you get a circle.'
Magnificent effort, but wholly unsuccessful."
Thus speaks my good friend Tommy, on McCargow. I haven't actually seen McCargow for an age, although I no doubt will at the 200th Anniversary celebration of The Clown.
Two hundred years enduring,
From age to following age,
A hundred generations
Have built our heritage.
This, with slight modifications, was my old school hymn, of which more later.
Anyway, reading McCargow is like relaxing on a sun lounger when you're twelve with a glass of cool cream soda. His words exist in suspension. It's a bit hard to describe.
