*        Hello, Mum!

†        Well … Ireland’s a bit of a mix, Irene: but there IS an Anglican Church of Ireland, led by the (Anglican) Bishop of Armagh.   The Church in Wales is led by an Archbishop.   And the Church of Scotland is led by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland: David Tennent’s Dad held the post for about a year.

‡        It was worse, Debbi: Daniel Craig at least made the effort!
