“Daddy, that was great! Except you sounded like a eunuch!” — A daughter listens to the radio — “Really. You sound like a castrated hamster.”
Thank god she’s not one of those vile teenagers.

Well, your voice was a bit odd to start with. I wouldn’t classify it as an altered rodent, but it didn’t sound like you. You settled down quite quickly, though, and there were the Brownian tones. I can quite see (hear?) you doing talking books — early Burgess, perhaps.
I liked the way you avoided the classic philosophical discussions of disestablishment, the Church’s role in the State and all that, and concentrated on the parishes and the pounds. “I wish they’d stop talking about sex”. Indeed.
