It may be harder than I’d imagined to avoid the coronation of our jug-eared monarch, because the BBC is planning to suspend the licence fee as part of a one-off dispensation for the coronation weekend in May. Every public place will find room for a big-screen TV and bunting; no doubt the marquee will be erected next to the Black Swan. I may take the opportunity, instead, to put all my CDs in alphabetical order or re-watch Sex Lives of the Potato Men on DVD.
