Mrs Haverty is in the house

Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed that Mrs Haverty (or Aunt Flossie as I know her) has joined our roster of great columnists. Her contacts with the hierarchy are legend, and she will be giving us the low down from on high whenever she pops in. I want to emphasize that she is here strictly on merit, there was no nepotism or simony involved. If somebody called Mahal Kita or even Mrs Abanjo had applied they would have received the same hearing, if the position had been advertised.
