Yup, that figures. I can very much see Mrs B as an Express reader-type: although to be fair, she must have been born around 1860 or so, with all the unusual sensibilities of late Victoriana - remember, these were the people who put lace around the legs on chairs and tables so as not to excite male ardour...

I'm amused to find it is a real quote, however - I always believed it apocryphal.
