Every year there is a carnival procession in Dawlish, and every year it is led by a bag-pipe band all in some sort of uniform, and every year that band is closely followed by a little man in civilian clothing who gets nothing more than enjoyment out of what he is doing.

Now that I have had time to look further into the STAMP DUTY Fiasco.
