Fetch that single malt from the liquor cabinet, pour yourself a chota peg, put taper to your havannah and sit back in your favourite armchair and return to a time when the Atlas was swathed in the red of the British Empire. "Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
