“Fifty years from now Britain will still be the country of long shadows on county grounds, warm beer, invincible green suburbs, dog lovers and pools fillers and - as George Orwell said - “old maids bicycling to Holy Communion through the morning mist” and if we get our way - Shakespeare still read even in school.” IfsWayYearsLongSaidStillsCountrySchoolMorningDogLoversHolyShadowGreenWarmBeerBritainFiftyPoolCommunionCricketMistInvincibleSuburbsMaidsDog LoverWell SaidHoly CommunionOld MaidsFillersLong ShadowsMorning Mist Author:John Major
