Thanks. I think I last bought a copy of Private Eye about 50 years ago; Ingrams was the editor, and Paul Foot was still writing for them. I loved the schoolboy gags (I was a schoolboy), but they put out some very serious content that the MSM wouldn't touch.

The image was that the PE journalists basically spent their working day hanging out in Fleet Street bars, shooting the breeze with journos from mainstream papers, and collecting gossip. I have no idea how accurate that picture is.
