When the grand coalition against Osama bin Laden and his Merry Men starts to crumble, and the Afghan wars escalate, and it all becomes Islam v. the West, as in the mediaeval crusades against the Saracens, the platoons of the Home Guard will have to be reconstituted and I fully intend being Private Godfrey, the fey draper with bladder trouble: 'I'd be delighted to help in any capacity that doesn't involve too much running about', as he puts it to Captain Mainwaring when enlisting. (I'm willing to hold auditions for the essential role of my sister Dolly, who'll succour the troops with her upside-down cakes.)
