   In answer to Henry and Martha: imagine a nice little rumba band. I'm   
   standing at the front dressed in a tuxedo with my hair greased down. I sing   
   sonorously with a group of singers behind me:   
      
   'de haut en bas, de haut en bas, de haut en bas...'   
      
   Middle -class wankers will be the death of both our countries.
