Snippet from an encounter with Jonathan Meades. Why eat if you aren’t hungry, asks the interviewer, Hermione Eyre.

“Why did Borges buy books after he was blind?”

  2. I love Meades and he sold me the idea of the superiority of the north of Europe.

  5. Must have been his Surrealism show, Billy. Or maybe you really do dream about him.

    Sheer inertia, Sniffer. Although my agent Mr Headley puts a more elegant spin on things.
