A fabulous piece, Richard...really terrific, and so welcome today.

The first Pride marches I went on in the mid-80s felt like acts of defiance. These days Pride seems to me more of a bottomless brunch for people who temporarily swap their Live Laugh Love merchandise for anything with a rainbow on it. I'm intrigued as to where you'd place me and other mutual gays we know on your scale! If only I COULD get to the shops through my wardrobe!

Oddly enough, I was talking to a local dealer recently, and nobody wants to buy wardrobes any more - it's all built-in cupboards. An entire generation will grow up confused by the flush front, sliding door space-saving melamine, niche storage options.

Have you seen there's a new Narnia on the High Street? Freshly painted sign over a door on the left hand side as you come up from the sea.
