THE OXFORD ORGANIC BURGER COMPANY LTD
I am far from being a fan of the burger, perhaps as a result of the horrors I inflicted on myself in youth. In the 1960s, they were called hamburgers — my 1976 Concise Oxford Dictionary still follows 'burger' with [colloq.] — and the most readily available form of this doubtful delicacy was the Wimpy.

Brideshead Revisted and How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
here’s one very good reason why Evelyn Waugh’s magnum opus Brideshead Revisited has never been adapted for the big screen before.
