Now that I live in a vicarage, I am thinking of having a collection at the front door every morning at 10. This would not be by way of impersonating the incumbent, for such activity is strictly prohibited, but would enable myself and Caroline to pay off the £500+ debt left on the gas meter by the previous incumbent who was not, you understand, an incumbent in the strict sense of the word but merely (we assume, and such an assumption is not unreasonable, though sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction) the previous occupant. If, that is, anyone turned up and gave us any money.
Coming soon: tea.
