Notes
1 However, the number of readers still able to appreciate the humour behind the chapter sub-title ‘Workers' Playtime’ (a British 1950s lunchtime radio variety programme) must, by now, be declining rapidly!
2 The phrase is taken from the title of Volpe (Citation1927).
3 See Gaspari (Citation1985) – an account based largely on interviews with those involved.
4 On the levels of pensions and other benefits, see the various regime sources quoted and analysed in Corner (Citation2002: 340 – 8, in particular).
