Pass the sickbag: Writers' Rooms

This week’s toe curling effort in The Guardian Review’s regular Pseuds Corner slot, ‘Writers’ Rooms’, comes from pretentious old fart, Picasso biographer John Richardson. The upper class twit says:

“I loathed school, but the advantage of going to Stowe was its fantastic 18th Century architecture and landscape layout, which gave me a passion for classical architecture from the age of 13.”

The other advantage of going to Stowe of course is that it affords you to live opulently in Manhattan incessantly name-dropping to wide-eyed journalists.
