Not since milords Raglan and Cardigan sent 600 galloping into the Valley of Death in the Crimea has anyone attempted such an impressive attrition rate.
In the 1920s and 30s, publications such as Peg's Paper gave weary mill girls and factory workers a repeating roundelay of love affairs between raffish milords and little Cinderellas to sweeten the odd 20 minutes of what would now be called "me time".
