**** Leonard Rossiter joins 4 Extra's 100 Club. Born 21st October 1926. He died in 1984 aged 57.

Britain is a nation in decline.

However, by lucky coincidence, her great malaise is widely attributed to such causes as lack of discipline, dishonesty, laziness, lateness - all of them problems easily resolved by some form of knuckle sandwich.

Leonard Rossiter reads Barry Pilton's mercurial musings.

Producer: Catherine Wearing

First broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in February 1982.
