@AmosBanks Fair point re not theft. What Dolly did not get was the kudos for writing the song - not that people thought Whitney wrote it - just that people don't realise what an amazing song-writer Dolly is. Also Whitney slaughtered that song.

On The Disturbing World Of British TV Commercials
I read somewhere that when UK tv programmes like the Office are remade for the US audience they have to add 10% more hope. I'd say it's actually more than that but the point is fair.

David Dundas is actually Lord David Dundas - son of the third Marquess of Zetland. I just found this out on Wiki. Who knew? And where the hell is Zetland?

On Mock Goose And Other Dishes Of The War-Rations Diet
Thank you for referencing 84 Charing Cross Road. I love that book to distraction. I think it's interesting how long this affected British food culture. I went to primary school in the 70s and one regular thing we had on the menu was "mock duck roll" which was effectively a sausage but with most of the meat replaced with some sort of pulse. It was only afterwards that I realised this had probably been on the menu since the 40s and 50s and was a version of the "mock goose" referenced here.
