A true man of the Lakes to the point of being boringly dismissive of other hilly areas (my mission is to convert him to the delights of mid-Wales). He worships at the shrine of Wainwright and is never seen on a walk within a Guide to the Fells (even if he is only going round the supermarket). I am waiting for him to divorce Jackie and marry a woman called Betty to copy AW. He does emulate his
hero in having a long list of
prejudices. AW bored for England in his tirades against the iniquities of the
Manchester Corporation et al. JD rails against the National Trust, the loss of discipline in society and the way in which he has to subsidise large families. |
