Quote

Most of the bad taste I've been accused of has been generic bad taste; it's been making fun of an idea as opposed to a person.

I grew up and lived in a Britain in which strikes and the threat of strikes had become part of the social fabric - and it was not very nice.

I hate striking out, doesn't matter what time of the game. I just don't like striking out.

What reader wants to be told what attitude to strike?

The kind of people who always go on about whether a thing is in good taste invariably have very bad taste.

Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.

There's no common taste in this world.

It's easy for people to strike if they're not working on a regular basis.

Fastidious taste makes enjoyment a struggle.
