Well...war sort of doesn't exist in the Land of Wodehouse. Neither does depression. And Bertie sidesteps even minor period inconveniences like prohibition (when he's in America) with little fuss, so...I mean, the Wooster world is not a realistic one, and though Wodehouse himself was very much affected by WWII, he never put war in his books. At least that's the impression I got. So I bounce along in the frivolous happy universe he's created and fret about war and depression and such in other books. As Stephen Fry says in Blackadder, when all else fails, a pigheaded unwillingness to look facts in the face will always see us through. ;)
