Ladies! Quiet! If you'll look this way, the diagram on the board explains the raw, dirty process of extraction of nylon from crude oil. Essentially that thong you put on for the lads is refined filth gripping your hips. Turn to page twenty - put down that magazine, look at me! I am not grading your handbags. Pens down, everyone, and eyeliner pencils, all eyes on the front. Try and focus on the man with the outsize labcoat robes of a magician. For my next trick
