On Ibiza, the Lloyds don’t wear DJs except for a party, though of course, everyone changes. If Johnson had changed, I wouldn’t like to have seen what he had on beforehand: I could see Janey eyeing the woolly and the old crumpled bags, and I could guess she was storin...g the lot inside her Jane Austen hairdo.
