ABSTRACT
It’s the Boat Race this weekend. The 150th, and the last ever one on the BBC. Well, you probably knew that: either because you are looking forward to it and plan to watch it while wearing a straw boater and striped blazer and clutching an old college oar, or else because you think it is a disgracefully élitist anachronism, and you wouldn’t dream of sullying your mind by caring.
