Thank you LA&SB, there's praise (damning with faint)!
I was asked would I MC, (because Children in Need is my 2nd favourite charity, and one our family has a personal connection with), and in a weak moment I agreed. (Lessons have been learned!).
A full report, in long-winded and verbose prose, involving many sub-clauses -some with hyphens- (some with brackets), will, on this blog, shortly follow.
