The following article appeared in The Evening Standard yesterday (January 14, 2009):

VETERAN comedians Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden performed a double act at yesterday's Oldie literary lunch at Simpson's-in-the- Strand, promoting their book, The Doings of Hamish and Dougal, You'll Have Had Your Tea.

"Don't bugger about with your reel, SIR," he was once told while landing a fish. Garden said that, after a bad day, his ghilly suggested they should try Rifkind's pool.
