...meat? Even red meat?" Mouthing his words like a music-hall comic, Churchill spluttered: "I am always very chary with percentages . . . I like short words and vulgar fractions. Well, here is the plain vulgar fact: in the first two years of the Tory government, the British nation has actually eaten 400,000 tons more meat, including red meat, than they did in the last two years of the Socialist administration."

As a child, Shirley stopped spending her allowance on candy once she discovered that a 10? can of condensed milk, eaten with a spoon, is the sweetest thing there is. Asked this summer to name the foods she would most like to have on a desert island. Shirley said: "Fudge, brownies, chocolate ice cream and orange juice."
