And on my last visit to London I found a new hazard to living in the capital: a big, glossy, giveaway brochure called London - Making the Best Better.No author is credited, but the introduction is by John Gummer, who calls himself Secretary of State for the Environment (I wonder if he is any relation to the man who used to style himself John Selwyn Gummer and did so much as agriculture minister to make himself one of the most feared men in Britain, at least by farmers? If so, has he simply dropped one of his names in a new slim look? Or has he been advised by some style consultancy to chance his logo, rather as InterCity has suddenly become InterCity Shuffle?

A letter to grandmaster Short from William Hartston: Dear Nigel, Just between the two of us, you've made a bit of an ass of yourself, haven't you? I'm sure you felt that Fide were robbing you when they awarded the world title match to Manchester, but your decision to go it alone with Kasparov has all got a little out of hand, hasn't it?When your opponent re- opened negotiations with Fide, it must have taken you a little by surprise You had, after all, been unequivocal in rebutting them. Not once, though, did Mr Dole gloat over victory.'We're not trying to embarrass him,' he said, only to 'send a signal that we have quite a few thoughtful people on our side'. An important, but implied, purpose of the poll tax was the introduction of the qualification to voting that there should be 'no representation without taxation'. The tax surreptitiously invited de-registration of 'refuseniks' as the only way to avoid prosecution for non-payment, while the legal fiction was maintained that the government was not interfering with voting rights because the electoral and 'community charge' registers were kept formally separate.It was clearly thought through with care by the government; effectively to disenfranchise people without a serious democratic backlash. However, the prospect of Holdsworth being required in the next Test brought a change of heart.ALSO on the scorecard for the first time at Stone was Mark Taylor, the bowler who took his first wicket of the tour.
