PS
Somehow that passage from Kynaston seems appropriate in a week when John Sergeant stepped down as leader of the People's Guerrilla Army. Perhaps the British have always been a contrarian bunch. Perhaps the only difference is that they didn't have laptops and e-mail in 1945. Perhaps Peter Hitchens' golden age never existed.
Btw, my only problem with "Austerity Britain" is that the soft cover edition is so unattractive. £10 is a lot to pay for 700 pages of low-grade, see-through paper held together by a small dollop of glue. It's hardly designed for intensive use. Why can't British publishers copy their American counterparts and lavish some TLC on their products?
