SG: You imply that people no longer use vellum? Fortunately I have several large sheets of it in reserve, probably enough for my remaining days. Quills are a bit difficult to obtain. Have to see if Amazon stocks them.

This thread reminds me of the conversation between Norman Stanly Fletcher and the prison doctor.
Do you suffer from any illness?
Bad feet.
Have you paid a recent visit to a doctor or a hospital?
Only with my bad feet.
Are you now or have you at any time been a practicing homosexual?
What with these feet.

Wan't only his feet would have put me off. But his cell mate, the late Richard Beckinsale (?) was kind of ok, for a jailbird.

SG, you don't know the half of it. And I agree about the new version - I won't be watching it either.
Gout sounds like a really painful condition, but it seems there are effective treatments, so that's good.

Bob you could be on to a winner.
You may not be fully aware of all the anachronistic little eccentricities of UK constitutional niceties but every new session of Parliament starts with The Queen's Speech (nothing to do with stammering )
This year poor old Lizzie was unable to deliver her speech on time and the whole Parliamentary process was in limbo for about a fortnight.
The official reason for this: a lack of vellum on which to write her speech! Clearly Buckingham Palace officials either don't use Anazon or their's was of inferior quality
So you see, providing yours is of top quality as I'm sure it is, you could be sitting on a goldmine - and I don't mean your (no doubt) firm and pert little bubble butt
Bob, you are definitely on a winner!
Just imagine it - Bobsaigon, purveyor of fine vellum, by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen.
Surely a knighthood would be in the offing, too.
Sir Bobsaigon.
Hmmm....had a certain ring to it.
