Via return of post



      “My views sir? Can’t think I have many . . . oh, I don’t know, though. Wouldn’t mind suggesting to Her Majesty’s ministers that next time they get a letter from a touchy barbarian despot, it might save ’em a deal of trouble if they sent him a civil reply via return of post . . . ”
