Plum lines

     Fans of P.G. Wodehouse may like to vote for their favourite 'Plum line' in the Plum Idol competition on the Heywood Hill website. 

     I chose Deborah Devonshire's one, and I rather covet that voucher!

Thanks for posting! That really made my morning :) I'm rather fond of Toby Young's choice.

I voted for Deborah Devonshire's quote too this morning! I would love to win that voucher ... even contemplating it has me ridiculously excited!

I'd be terrified of having lunch with Nicholas Soames though...
