There is a bowls green in the middle of our village, I can't remember the title of the chap that runs it, but I was introduced to him once. I would guess he is in his early thirties; and he is a member of the local Labour Party. That is rather unusual in the Battle are, but the British are good at tolerating eccentrics. One of the advantages of living in a democracy is that eccentricity poses no threat, eccentrics are by definition a minority.
