I was about to download something and dutifully used the search engine Ask (formerly Ask Jeeves, sigh) because it is a big help to the site in paying for their bandwidth. So I entered 'Jeeves and Wooster' in the search engine. To my surprise, I got some quite interesting results. Here is one article of interest to anyone who hasn't seen it:

Isn't that interesting? Mind you, the Russian readers wouldn't be quite so keen on the Wodehouse world if they were subject to its caste system, which is now thankfully almost obsolete, though admittedly they had a lot worse to put up with until fairly recently.
