I enjoy the silly word play in Honest John?s agony column as much as I do the editorial. This week we have a "harmed rubbery", a "dire struts" and a "vendor graph generator" but last week?s "budget regard" is the one that made me drop my tea.
I suspect the editor is the culprit but I like to think it?s HJ

"Budget regard" is a rather cheep joke.

>>I suspect the editor
I'm sure this has come up before - iirc, it's down to the sub-editors and has nothing to do with HJ - further, iirc he's asked them to change the photo on the column too, but they won't...

HJ's not a real person, he's a fictitious character created by a committee of sub-editors. One day they came up with this idea of creating an honest car dealer, and it has developed since then. The famous photograph was a stroke of genius. It actually comes from the hat section of famous chain-store catalogue.

when Practical Classics did their buyer's guide for the XJS about 4 years ago, the headline was "Get a Top Cat, not a Benny."
Made me go and buy one.
