Floating down to Camelot

I heard a man who is at least in a position to be called in as rentaquote expert on Radio 4 saying the same thing, and adding in tones of some exasperation that having a generally well fed and healthy population also helps.

I am, however, disturbed by the idea suggested by ladyofastolat's post that current events are somehow being dictated by her reading material. This could have some very unexpected results!
