I travelled up to London by train today (congratulations First Great Western – on time both ways!) On the way back I happened to note the nameplate on the power car – it was called David Austin-Cartoonist.
I had to wonder, did David change his name to the hyphenated one to celebrate his job, or was he landed with this monicker from birth, so had little choice in his chosen profession?
I mean the power car was called this, by the way. I have no idea what the nameplate was called. (Acknowledgements to Lewis Carroll.)
