For the benefit of those who don’t know, Maidenhead is a
posh place down in the swanky southern shires close to Heathrow Airport.
It has to be posh so that airline pilots have somewhere nearby and impressive to
take that special member of the female cabin crew. Which brings me to my point.
Who the hell would think of calling a town Maidenhead? (And
they say I’m strange.) I replied to Ms W along the lines of ‘I’m sure it will
be very pristine and interesting. Maidenheads always are.’ And knowing that she
always finds her business trips to Maidenhead a trial, I suggested that she
should try to face the day with equanimity and think up as many double entendres
as she can manage for ‘Maidenhead.’
