ABSTRACT
Given the lucrative jobs he will be taking up, the word ‘poor’ seems inappropriate. But I want to confess something.
I invented Chris Woodhead. There, I’ve said it. I apologise if I upset anyone in the process.We satirists can sometimes get desperate, so one day I made him up. Reprehensible, I admit, but I was young and silly. He was, so to speak, my Piltdown Man.
