I listed a few well-known ones, which seemed to go down well, and the conversation proceeded with perfect affability and blandness.The only remotely challenging moment was when he said: 'But some people might say, Gordon - I don't know - 'Sounds fine, but what's in it for me?' - could be an interesting question - so what do we say to these people, Gordon? - do they have a point? - or are they just a bunch of philistines?'I said a lot of mystery surrounded the arts, but we should remember that all art was first and foremost about pleasure He said: 'Hm, sounds a bit like London Pipeline Radio. A MAJOR police inquiry was already under way into the disappearance on 9 April 1991 of Jo Ramsden, when Detective Constable Beverley Havis was assigned to support her family.
