Crud Cribs?

Crud Cribs?

Sir,

To the small band of admirers who know me as the eminence grise of University literature, my influence upon the style and content of El Crud will not come as a surprise. But I feel that it should be made known to the wider public who have yet to discover me that the phrase "overrun by a swarm of O.B.E.'s" has its origin firstly in the folklore of the Goons and secondly In a short surrealist play entitled "The Largest Wooden Southern Hemisphere in the World" which appeared in the pages of the 1963 Weir House Magazine.' After cornering the arrant plagiarist on Kelburn Park and threatening him with an old meal pie I forced this admission from him.

Yours ever,

Rob Laking.
