Surprised like the front of an Anglia
Doreen is another song with a whole list of unlikely happenings and situations, including obsessive showjumping fans, letters to the council in the form of poetry and Dutch prog bands on holiday in the north-west. The aforementioned veterans Alquin had split 15 years before the song was written, but the almost inevitable asterisk reveals that they reformed 10 years later and had an “Ultimate Collection”, naturally. Thanks to David and Grim

ah, ‘anglia’! I always thought it was ‘angler’ but ‘anglia’ makes a lot more sense. In my experience anglers look serene from any direction, rather than surprised.

Far be it from me to criticise Nigel’s observations, but I would say the fronts of Anglias look downcast rather than surprised…
