But then I realised that I was sitting at a computer connected to the internet and the question would have to contrived, because I would have looked him up the moment I'd finished writing the question - forcing you to post a response, or worse still a link to the site (Wikipedia probably) that I will probably be visiting shortly. It would have made a fool out of both of us. In fact, I have decided not to find out who Martin Parr is. So if you want, you can post that link and our mutual integrity will remain intact.

Made me chuckle on the way home, but stopped short of pointing at the paper and saying "hey, I know him!" to total strangers. I saw those ladettes on the truck on their way down the Strand. Or maybe it was another bunch? Cursed myself for not having my camera to hand for some ironic Martin Parr 'Think of England' style action but then the whole thing was too seedy for Martin Parr.
