George Orwell got it right, except the milk/tea sequence thing. George was a tortured genius on account of putting the milk in last, which causes TB.

If his first wife -- Geordie-Irish Eileen O'Shaughnessy -- hadn't died young, she would undoubtedly have cured George of his perverted behaviour in the lactose department, and he'd still be alive now, probably President of the United Republic of the British Isles, Director General of the BBC, CEO of Triumph-Norton Motorcycles and Tea Corporation Ltd, and Chief Administrator of Stub Crouch.

I think he got TB from his life as a tramp. Or, I think that's more likely.

But still, still.

I blame Margaret Thatcher.

Oh, yes. Goes without saying (though you should always say it).
