Sorry - Mr Grant's car - he had just bought a new American Cadillac and I wrecked the carpet. He did not yell at me so he was a good guy.
But that was 1974 and now I drink coke mainly.
And yes Ed should be introduced or brucan (browked Modern translation if it was done correctly) to Wainwright. The old English brucan is actually a much better meaning than "introduced" as it means "introduced with some joy". According to a SCHOLARLY paper I read at the weekend it was also an oblique way to reference the biblical Latin "to know". Hence "Anthony bruced Cleopatra" was quite rude in the 900's.
Ok Ed stay calm, I will not force you to learn any more Old English today. But I suggest that we now have the B word as well as the F word.
Grinning like Roger and holding his sides.
