Following my last (note 108), a bundle of post has bounced in from the provinces, and all my correspondents are hot and bothered about what a landscape designed by Capability Brown is and which ones will show him at his best in this, his tercentennial, year.

So me and the chaps have taken over and we’re starting a paper. ‘The Repton Gazette’. Same rules as for the last lot (questions numbered and logged on receipt, responses whenever we get round to it, everyone anonymous unless requested otherwise). Thought it would be jolly to start numbering with 1818 (year Repton died) and rock up to the present, 200 FAQs later. Ta-ta. Oofy
