The one without the parachute equipment is clearly an angel.

1980: Something new in Hamelin

There is a nod to the past and a nod to the present. The nod to the past is the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The nod to the present is the discovery of resistant strains of medical treatments.

1980: A deep rooted problem

Is Dr Momfret a psychiatrist? Does his name imply fear of one’s mum? This is certainly one of the odder jokes in the pages of Punch.

1980: An important decision

What is going on here? In what way are we looking at an idyllic existence? Perhaps the question is ironic.

Does idyllic equate with super-minimalist?

It's a weird one.

Re: The Pages of Punch

I thought it was just irony. The "idyllic" existence is such hard work.

1980: An opinion that is no longer fashionable

The chances are that some people had cared but they were not the people whose opinion had mattered. They do now.
