Simulacrum is a word every good writer should know … and no good writer should use. It means a poor imitation of something. And when I think of poor imitations, I think of every town’s Christmas tree, compared to the one My Home Town had in The Great Old Days. The reason this subject came up is because after I mentioned that tree in last week’s column, I got all sorts of emails from old townies saying how much they loved it. The tree was installed in Berkeley Square every Christmas, and it was magnificent. Not only was it tall, but its branches were full and long. So long and full that driving through Berkeley Square was not a chore for either the faint of heart or the car finish fetishist.
