Come On Eileen (2)
I rarely comment on diary stories. But the venerable Ephraim Hardcastle has picked up on Eileen Wright’s long service in the Commons in today’s Daily Mail. In an otherwise unimpeachable piece, he describes Eileen as an “octogenerian”. While I would never ask a lady her age, I can assure Ephraim that that particular accoloade is some way off. No doubt the speaker will throw another party when it is reached.
